Manuscript Critique

A manuscript critique is a budget-friendly option for authors who need feedback on the high-level elements of their work. Like developmental editing, a manuscript critique covers story-level elements including plot, structure, characterization, pacing, and voice.

A manuscript critique is less comprehensive than a developmental edit and does not include in-text comments or a call with the editor. However, a critique covers the same story-level elements and is a solid alternative to the more in-depth developmental editing service. A manuscript critique can also be called a manuscript evaluation.

After the critique, you will have a thorough understanding of your manuscript and story, along with a plan for tackling revisions.
