A Virtual Critique is a one-on-one, 30 minute zoom session, where I will provide feedback on your manuscript on:
Please include a brief cover letter in the body of your manuscript noting specific issues you would like me to focus on.
Submit only ONE picture book manuscript per paid consultation and no more than 1000 words or 1,200 for non-fiction.
For non-fiction pieces, I will only critique storytelling.
Fact checking back matter/source material is the sole responsibility of the writer.
You will receive a written summary, your manuscript with comments in Microsoft Word, and a virtual consultation.
I schedule the appointment to coincide with the due date of your manuscript or an agreed upon time.
Critiques will be delivered two weeks from date of submission.
*Please be sure to properly format your manuscript:
- character development
- plot/story structure
- pacing
- showing vs telling
- theme/big picture
- and any concerns, questions you may have.
