What’s included in a manuscript critique?

A manuscript critique is similar to a developmental edit in that it offers a comprehensive look at your manuscript’s elements, such as plot, pacing, characters, relationships, and the overall flow and tone of your story.

If you’re finished with your manuscript and are now asking yourself, “What’s next?” reach out to me. I’d love to see how I can help you take your manuscript to the next level, whether your journey is querying or self-publishing.

My manuscript critiques cost $0.006/word. (a 100,000-word manuscript would be $600).

This is a more cost-efficient alternative to the traditional rounds of editing. I want to help authors write strong stories with clear, actionable feedback, encouragement, and direction for editing. I am also devoted to helping authors craft thorough and well-developed stories while remaining accessible for folks to read.

The Specifics

In-line Comments: Direct feedback concerning word choice, pacing, plot, characters, conflict, and more.

Reader Comments: I believe that all feedback should be paired with encouragement and reader reactions. This is everything I love about your manuscript and my real-time reactions!

Feedback Document: A separate document that lists out all my thoughts on your manuscript: what I think you did well on, some direction for improvement, any plot holes that I found, and any character inconsistencies.
