About this Gig
Having a strong first chapter can make or break your book. It can be the deciding factor for the reader as to whether they want to continue with the book or leave it.
Hi, I'm Divyam and I am here to help make your story shine and bring your vision to life.
The first chapter sets the tone for the entire book.
First Chapter Critique is for you if you are looking to make sure that your book has a strong start and it hooks your readers. It will also give you an insight into the flow and pace of your book.
This gig includes :-
- Feedback for the first 5000 words of your draft
- In-line comments
- A report with detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the beginning of your draft
- A 30-minute call to discuss the feedback (to be scheduled within 10 days of submitting feedback)
You can also place an order directly or message me if you have any questions. I will be happy to answer them.
Looking forward to working with you :)
