Want to make sure your pitch and first pages are agent-ready? Our team of agents and editors are here to help you polish your pitch, refine your first pages, and help you give your work its best possible chance.
Critiques include both overall (editorial letter-style) notes, as well as specific line notes in the text, as needed. Please note that this does not include correction of every punctuation mark but, instead, will point to specific instances referred to in the letter, and refer to larger scale issues as well as turn of phrase, word choice, and sentence construction.
Your critique will arrive within 24 hours of the date/time agreed upon. Please note that this is for a written critique only, and does not include a live meeting.
Who is this for?
- Writers looking to self-publish
- Writers wanting to prepare their manuscript to submit to agents
