What Is a Manuscript Critique?

A manuscript critique is a budget-friendly option for authors who need feedback on the high-level elements of their work. After the critique, you will have a thorough understanding of your manuscript and story, along with a plan for tackling revisions.

The critique can be an alternative to developmental editing. It can also be paired with a developmental edit for an in-depth editing process.
​

What You Get

• A written report with an analysis and action plan​

​

How It Works

We will pair you with a developmental editor who has experience and expertise with your work's genre, age category, and subject matter. Before we begin, you will complete an editing brief with information about your goals for the work and any special considerations related to your story. Then the editor will begin an attentive read, culminating in a written report and action plan.

In less than a week she sent me a highly organized overview of what I needed to know, her suggestions about changes, characters, and plot flow. Victoria is quick in her responses, effective in her comments, encouraging in her style. A pleasure to work with.

—Frank Tavares, MS Critique

Although I am in the early stages of revising my novel, completely in accordance with Victoria’s recommendations and advice I must add, I can see that Victoria’s involvement has really been essential to my potential success. You’d be silly not to trust Victoria with your manuscript.

​—Bram Seddavich, MS Critique
