Member Example question

I have ideas for Urban gardening, but I do not know how to improve this draft.

Sam River Pal response

Choose one effect you want the audience to feel or understand. We will keep the strongest detail, identify one place where the draft loses that effect, and revise only that part before judging the whole piece.

Sam is built around slow mornings, pocket sketchbooks, rooftop planters, and the art of making a day less crowded.
