I will critique the first 50 pages of your novel

Readers decide fast.

Your opening pages have to do an enormous amount of work: establish voice, create momentum, build curiosity, and set the tone. They determine whether an agent requests a full manuscript or whether an Amazon browser clicks "Buy Now" after the free preview.

The Opening Pages Critique tells you if your opening is creating the right experience. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's working, where readers may begin to disengage, and which revisions will make the biggest difference.

What you receive:

• A detailed editorial document covering hook and opening technique, narrative voice, character introduction, reader investment, conflict and stakes, pacing and structure, setting and orientation, tone and mood, and genre fit
• A summary of the greatest strengths, the two or three highest-priority revision areas, and a clear recommendation for next steps

This service is for you if you are:

• Querying agents and want to know whether your opening pages are compelling enough to earn a full request
• Self-publishing and preparing for the Amazon preview window where your first chapter becomes your sales page
• Simply sensing something in the opening isn't working
