$35 Critique Print E-mail
AddThis Social Bookmark Button

Your first few pages generally determine whether a literary agent, acquisitions editor, or bookstore browser will want to keep reading. Whether you’re a prospective client wanting to test the waters with one of our editors before hiring us or you're simply looking for a little candid and objective feedback from an experienced professional editor, our introductory critique may be the answer.

What To Expect

For a fee of $35, we’ll read your first ten pages (double-spaced, 12 point type) and tell you via editorial memorandum what we see is working, what’s not, and what you can do to make your opening as captivating as possible.

Please note that this service is available for full-length fiction or nonfiction manuscripts at any stage of development, finished or unfinished.

Submissions

Anyone wishing to take advantage of this offer can send ten double-spaced pages and the requested contact information using our secure submission interface below. You will receive immediate confirmation that your upload was successful, followed shortly by an electronic invoice for the critique. Once it's paid, you can expect your critique within a week.
