Yes. As an author, it's often hard to distance yourself from your project and take an objective look at its real strengths and weaknesses. That's why having a professional editor evaluate your manuscript  can make all the difference. You can test the waters with our Introductory Critique or request a full Manuscript Critique, our comprehensive first-pass evaluation, and the best way to nail down the best and worst parts of a manuscript. The manuscript critique includes a phone or email follow-up with your editor, but if you'd rather just talk to someone about your work without receiving a detailed editorial memorandum, check out Manuscript Consultation.

At the very least we can probably tell you why you're not having success and give you some honest feedback as to whether or not it’s worth continuing with the effort. If the manuscript does show promise, we offer many services that can help you bring it to its full potential.

Additionally, we offer our Agent Matchmaking Program, an invitation-only program reserved for Editorial Department clients whose work we know well and find to be outstanding. Over the years, we have built relationships with several dozen agents and agencies, and our reputation for quality helps AMP clients get a leg up on the agenting process.
