Why a Critique?
A submission critique is like a mini Manuscript critique--it can tell you what needs improvement, what might be wrong with your manuscript--before you submit. And for much less money.
As an experienced editor, I have written hundreds of submission critiques which have helped writers improve both their submissions and their manuscripts. Don't waste your own talents, efforts and time by not giving your manuscript the best chance for acceptance.
(1) Feedback--receive feedback on both your submissions and your manuscript, before you send them to the Editor or Agent.
(2) Improve & strengthen your manuscript--for submissions to Editors and Agents.
(3) You've received rejections already? -- Learn why you are receiving rejections.
