Manuscript Critique

a 5-8 page critique letter, focusing on structure and characterization

Feeling unsure about your manuscript, but don't quite want to invest in a developmental edit? Manuscript critique is the happy medium for you.

Usually the best time for a writer to have a manuscript critique done is when it's already gone through a second draft and needs that extra push to address possible issues that still remain. This is a smart path to take before submitting your manuscript to an agent or publisher, or even if you've just never had a professional edit done before and want to see what value you can get out of one.

In my critique letter I will address:

-structure
-plot holes (when applicable)
-point of view
-pacing
-characterization (when applicable)
-setting (when applicable)
-authenticity of dialogue (when applicable)
-sensitivity issues
-obtrusive grammar issues

It's my mission to kindly and honestly draw your attention to your manuscript's strengths & weaknesses. I'll do my best to offer possible solutions and clearly point out examples where issues may lie so that your text can reach its full potential.
