Manuscript Critique

Why would you need a story critique for your manuscript? The answer is actually pretty simple. You may have worked with critique partners in the past, but how many of them actually gave an honest, useful critique? How many of them stayed with you from start to end?

Agents and publishers get hundreds of submissions. If you want your manuscript to shine, you’ll need to make it as polished and intriguing as possible. That’s where I come in. I can help you look for the strengths and weakness in your manuscript, go through the character development, find plot holes, and make sure you write in a consitent voice using realistic dialogue.

After you contact me, I’ll get in touch with you through email, and we’ll talk about what you’re looking for. Once that’s out of the way, I’ll start working on your manuscript. I use MSWord and Track Changes, so you can see what changes I suggest making in the manuscript and what my comments are. I won’t change your manuscript myself, just offer ideas. You can then go ahead and accept any changes you like – they’ll automatically be implemented in the manuscript.
