   Thank you so much for the critique and all your work that went into its preparation. It's exactly what I needed and I truly appreciate how quickly you completed it. Clearly I submitted it to the right person.

Literary Critique

 

This service is provided as a supplement to writers or authors whose manuscript or book has been edited and proofread by us. Please review the book editing & proofreading information.

 

  • Publisher Requirements

    Many publishers require a Literary Critique to be furnished along with the manuscript when it is submitted for possible publication. Various publishers have different requirements for literary critiques submitted to them. We can adapt our critique format to suit the requirements of your selected publisher. 

  • Literary Critique Definition

    A literary critique of your book or manuscript is meant to provide the writer with an assessment of the literary value of the work and the marketing focus.

  • Submission Requirements

    Please include a synopsis, your target audience and a brief paragraph about you, the author, along with your manuscript when you submit it for a literary critique. Contact me with any questions about these requirements.

  • Fee

    The fee for the complete Literary Critique is between $100 and $125. This fee is extremely economical because we will have completed the full proofreading and editing prior to the preparation of the literary critique. We will have read and reviewed the entire book or manuscript and will be equipped to prepare an in-depth beneficial literary critique.
