Manuscript Critiques

A manuscript critique is macro-view look at your manuscript to review plot, structure, voice, character, dialogue, and other big-picture issues. For nonfiction, the process is similar, with a review of structure, voice, factual issues, and more. 

A critique a faster version of a developmental edit that can provide a road map for improving your book. This is a cost-effective solution if you’re preparing a manuscript to submit to agents or to be published or if you simply want professional feedback. Even a partial manuscript critique can provide valuable insights.
