After a couple decades of participating in writers groups and communities that have immeasurably helped my writing, I’ve decided to give back to the writing community. Every month I will critique one piece at random, selected via a contest giveaway. I have experience in short story, novel, and screen writing, so send me whatever you have. What kind of experience, you may ask? Well, I have critiqued stories that have gone on to win or be nominated for the Nebula, Hugo, Sturgeon, World Fantasy, and Bram Stoker awards. I’ve critiqued a feature film script that has been produced by Sony and another that has been purchased by AMC.

Jake Kerr is a master at revision. I’ve seen very few authors who are able to improve their work through the revision process as well as he can.
