| TESTIMONIALS |

Eris’ thorough, thoughtful feedback was a huge help during the editing process of Vile Stars. Their insights helped me to identify an issue with one scene that I hadn’t been able to put my finger on, and really helped things slot into place. Their work was swift, incisive and kind – I hope to work with Eris again.

I went to use Eris’ help at last minutes notice. They were really responsive and willing to do the proofreading for my dissertation on short notice. Moreover, they were able to work within a tight deadline with a clear and concise review of my work, giving hints on where I can improve, and also helped me structurise my writing’s logic so I can deliver my message better. I definitely recommend their service as a proofreader.

| CARVE CRITIQUES |

I am also a short story critic for Carve Classroom– Carve Literary Magazine’s creative writing course. Here are a few testimonials from CC students about the feedback I’ve given them on their work:

Eris’s feedback was honest, insightful, detailed, and clear. I appreciate their careful reading of my work.

I was actually very surprised and pleased with the critique I recieved for short piece The Pit that is Me. The strengths and points for improvement were highlighted and it gave my writing more direction. I will use this service again for my future work.

This was definitely the best $63 I’ve spent on my writing. Eris gave me such valuable feedback: the comments were so specific and personalized, so well thought-out and clearly articulated, so insightful. Not only will these’ suggestions help me improve this creative nonfiction piece. These suggestions will help me with ALL my creative nonfiction. Eris really hit the nail on the head regarding what I need to do to make this piece work. I felt like I was having a big-ass “AHA!” moment as I read through the comments. So thank you, Eris, for such valuable and helpful comments! I’m pretty thrilled with my first critique service experience and can’t wait to start my revision.

The critique was detailed and extremely helpful.
