Online Critique Service
Send me one piece of prose writing (up to 2500 words at a time) or a few poems (up to 400 words total excluding titles) to receive feedback within maximum 2 weeks.*
What will I get?
Suggestions from a reader’s and from a writer’s point of view on how to improve the way you’re getting the message across.
Small tweaks to improve your piece’s readability.
Critique on character development, plot, and pace in the case of short stories.
Techniques and skills to be able to revise your other work.
Where relevant, suggestions for further reading that will help you improve and hone into your unique style.
This service does not mean that I will:
- Rewrite or revise for you, except in the case of providing an example of how to revise on your own.
- Correct grammar, mechanics and spelling. This requires a professional copyeditor or proofreader. However, I will point out any patterns of surface-level error that may pose a significant problem for you.
- Check and correct for style (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style or AP style). This requires a copyeditor or proofreader.
- Provide any fact-checking.
- Provide answers or advice on legal issues
Please send the manuscript in Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri 12-point size with double spacing in word or google doc format.
