A manuscript critique (also known as a manuscript assessment) reviews the strengths of your story as well as the areas for improvement. Instead of nitpicking grammar and spelling, it zooms out to look at the big picture—your plot, characters, pacing, structure, and setting. Think of it like a roadmap for your next round of revisions.
You will get constructive notes on things like:
- How your characters come across and what’s driving them
- The flow and structure of your plot
- Whether you’re hitting the right notes for your genre and keeping readers hooked
- Your writing style and voice—what’s working and what could be fine-tuned
