Own your story.
Hey, I'm Alona. You know me from the reactions, the streams, the books, all of it. Underneath the chaos I'm a writer too, and I'm opening up manuscript critiques.
You've put hours, maybe years, into this book. So what's next?
I'm not here to blow smoke. I believe in real feedback, the kind that actually moves your writing forward instead of telling you what you want to hear. If you're stuck in revision, second-guessing your draft, or just need someone to tell you the truth about what's working and what isn't, that's what I'm here for.
Whether you're four drafts deep and need fresh eyes, or early in and need a gut check before you go further, I want to be part of that process with you. I'm not going to pretend I've got decades of editing behind me. What I bring is honesty, a real understanding of story, and the same no-filter energy I bring to everything else I do.
If revision has you feeling lost or stuck, let's find what's holding your manuscript back and get it tight, polished, and ready for querying, publishing, or wherever you're taking it next.

What you're getting
In-line comments
Notes throughout your manuscript on plot development, character work, pacing, worldbuilding, consistency and plot holes, plus my honest reactions as a reader, in real time.
5+ page edit letter
Where your novel needs work. Did the pacing and growth feel natural? Plot holes or contradictions? Scenes that needed more, or didn't need to be there? Did anything pull me out of the story?
Built around you
Before I start, you fill out a quick questionnaire about your concerns and pain points, so my notes are useful to your book, not generic.
Line-level add-on · +$0.002/word
Notes on word choice, awkward phrasing, cliché lines and voice consistency. Not a full line edit; line-level suggestions woven into the rest of your feedback.
