Become the best of the best!

Our critique rate is only 2.5 cents per word, one of the best deals you’ll find from an internationally recognized publishing professional like Stephen King’s first editor and publisher.

For example, a 100,000-word manuscript costs only $2,500.

If you’re planning to self‑publish, let’s make sure your book looks and feels every bit as polished as those coming out of major publishing houses.

Selective Clients Only

Manuscript critique services are offered on a selective basis to ensure each project receives the time, focus, and expertise it deserves. Because availability is limited and not every manuscript is a good fit, submission does not guarantee acceptance. Requests are carefully reviewed, and only those projects that align with current capacity and focus are invited to proceed.

What You Should Know Before Proceeding

A critique alone yields nothing without your contribution. It’s only the beginning. What truly matters is how effectively you, the author, integrate the commentary into a thorough rewrite. You may not agree with every observation; in fact, you probably won’t. However, the comments that challenge you most will likely be those that strengthen your manuscript the best.

Expect to encounter issues you may not have anticipated. Professionals in the industry evaluate manuscripts differently than writers or English professors. Set aside any preconceived notions about your manuscript’s weaknesses.

A Critical, Not Entertaining, Read

Your manuscript won’t be read for enjoyment or entertainment purposes. Don’t expect our consultant to make personal judgments. A critique requires deep concentration, and the process involves constant interruptions to provide commentary. The goal is not to determine entertainment value, which is too subjective, but rather to find fault that can be eliminated.

As a result, you will likely have significant work ahead.

Our manuscript critique service is not for you if . . .

  • You’re not open to constructive criticism.
  • You don’t intend to do a serious rewrite based on the feedback.
  • You believe you know more than our consultant.
  • You think you already know what’s wrong with your manuscript. If so, fix it first.
