Looking for feedback on your fiction or non-fiction manuscript? I offer partial and full-manuscript critique, as well as submission package critique (queries, synopsis, proposals). See below for full details below.

Disclosure:

Critique services are separate from agenting services. I can only work with authors in one situation (critique) or the other (agenting). I cannot do both. That means, working with me to critique your manuscript means I can’t represent you when it comes time to sell your book and vise versa.
