GET FEEDBACK FOR YOUR POEMS

It's hard to know how good your work is when few people (or no-one) responds thoughtfully to what you're doing. Editors usually just send form rejections and people on social media just hit "like" or leave a short comment.

​I'm here to give you detailed feedback on your poems.

I'm a Pushcart and Best of the Net nominated poet with work published in many print and online journals. I've also worked as an editor for many years, so I know poetry.  I'd love to read and respond to your work.
