About this Gig
Is your manuscript ready or does it just feel ready?
I will deliver a thorough manuscript critique that gives you the honest, professional feedback your writing needs before you publish, query agents, or invest in full editing.
Your manuscript critique includes:
Full manuscript critique with detailed editorial letter
Honest book critique structure, pacing, voice, and consistency
Deep manuscript feedback on plot holes and character gaps
Story feedback on dialogue, tension, and narrative arc
Developmental editor perspective on big-picture structural issues
Chapter-by-chapter breakdown with inline margin comments
Actionable revision suggestions
I critique:
Fiction novels, thrillers, romance, fantasy, literary
Non-fiction self-help, memoir, business, personal development

FAQ
What exactly is a manuscript critique and what will I receive?
A manuscript critique is a professional structural assessment of your writing — not a line-by-line grammar fix, but a deep evaluation of how your book works as a whole.
What is the difference between a manuscript critique and developmental editing?
A manuscript critique gives you a detailed written assessment and a clear revision roadmap — you then do the rewriting yourself based on that feedback. Developmental editing goes deeper and involves the editor actively working through your manuscript's structure chapter by chapter with track change
What genres do you provide manuscript critique for?
I provide manuscript critique and book critique for fiction — including literary fiction, thrillers, romance, fantasy, science fiction, and young adult — as well as non-fiction including memoirs, self-help, business books, and personal development.
How is your manuscript critique different from beta reading?
Beta reading gives you a general reader impression with light feedback. My manuscript critique goes significantly deeper — you receive a structured editorial letter, a full chapter-by-chapter breakdown, inline manuscript feedback with margin comments, and specific actionable revision suggestion
What word count does the $25 package cover?
The base package covers manuscripts up to 8,000 words. This is ideal for opening chapters, a first act, or a short non-fiction manuscript. For full-length novels or complete books, message me before ordering and I will provide a custom quote. Full manuscript critique for complete books is available
Will you tell me if my manuscript has serious structural problems?
Yes — that is exactly the purpose of a professional manuscript critique. I give honest, constructive manuscript feedback even when it means identifying significant structural issues.
Can I get a manuscript critique for an incomplete manuscript?
Yes. I can critique a partial manuscript — such as your first three chapters or your first act — which is especially useful for writers who want early directional manuscript feedback before completing their full draft.
After my manuscript critique, can you also help with formatting?
Yes. Once your manuscript is revised based on your critique feedback, I also offer book typesetting, paperback formatting, kindle formatting, and kindle ebook formatting as separate services on this profile.
Will my manuscript be kept confidential?
Absolutely. All manuscripts submitted for critique are handled with complete confidentiality throughout the entire manuscript feedback process. I do not share, reference, reproduce, or discuss your work with any third party at any stage.
How soon will I receive my manuscript critique?
Standard delivery is 3 days for manuscripts up to 8,000 words. If you need faster turnaround, message me before ordering to check availability for rush delivery. For longer manuscripts requiring full book critique, additional time is needed, I would rather give you genuinely useful manuscript review
