Manuscript critique

Notes on specific parts of your manuscript using the comments function in your document.

A multi-page report detailing the strengths of your manuscript as well as areas for improvement.

A list of suggested next steps addressing the most critical concerns in your manuscript.

• You have written a completed manuscript, but you’re not confident that your story is as strong as it could be, and you want some fresh insight.
• You want to make sure your overall story is solid before getting into the nitty-gritty of sentence-level editing.
• You want feedback that is aligned with mainstream audience expectations for your genre.
• You are prepared to take advice on board and rewrite parts of your story.

• You just want to know whether you should proceed with your story or scrap it.
• You are writing your story for yourself or for friends/family rather than trying to meet the reader expectations of a genre.
• You are not prepared to make any changes to your manuscript.
• You want feedback and guidance through multiple rounds of revisions, over an extended period of time.
