First Ten Pages Critique
It’s possible to tell a lot about a manuscript based on the first ten pages. This critique service offered with a quick turn-around time could be just what you need to strengthen your story without a hefty price tag. While a critique of the first ten pages can never replace a full developmental edit, it can point out weak points that might keep a reader from continuing. It can also turn up foundational problems that will affect the rest of the manuscript.
This critique will consider potential problem areas such as:
POV,
Opening scene,
Scene vs. summary,
Showing vs. telling,
World building without info dumping,
Setting the mood,
and much more.
I usually have room in my schedule to add a First Ten Pages Critique and can usually return my comments and editorial letter to you within three business days of receiving payment. If you’re interested in booking this service, please use the contact form below.
Be sure to include the genre, word count, and what part of the writing process you’re in with this manuscript (first draft, ready to query, etc…).
I will get back to you with my expected date for completion and payment instructions. I look forward to reading your work.
