Partial and Full Manuscript Critiques
As writers, we all struggle with evaluating our own work. It's a solitary endeavor to write anything, from blog post to book to series. If you have a piece that you're working on and would like to have a freelance editor review where you're at, we would love to help!
Yes, we will be honest with you, but clear and kind. Yes, your imposter syndrome is wrong when you hear "I don't think this is any good" in your head.
Types of work we read: all-ages fiction, creative non-fiction, and essay collections; limit 120,000 words.
Free 5 pages! To find out if we’re a fit, we offer a free 5 page general review. Contact us for more information and start the critique ball rolling for your work!
