Sample excerpt - Voice & Prose Analysis
"The voice here is doing something interesting - there's a wry, observational quality to the narration that feels literary without being self-conscious. The prose is cleanest in the dialogue scenes, where the rhythm feels natural and the characters sound distinct. Where it gets muddy is in the transitional passages - there's a tendency to over-explain what the protagonist is feeling rather than letting the reader infer. The line 'She knew, in that moment, that everything had changed' appears three times in different forms across the first fifty pages. Trust your reader more."
