Off to a Good Start: Development Critique

Posted on  February 10, 2017

For fiction:

You’ve written 50 pages of romance, fantasy, or mystery but you’re bogging down, a little overwhelmed by a growing tangle of story threads and character motivations. You’ve read numerous books on craft and all that is doing is making the tangle thicker. You need another set of eyes (more?) on your manuscript so you know if you are on the right track or not with your story. You want some professional and objective feedback.

I’ll read those 50 pages and give you an overall evaluation of what is working in your manuscript and what isn’t. I’ll comment on your opening, setting, characters (noting the presence or lack of internal and external motivations), conflict and story line. This critique does NOT include copy or line editing or proofing.

For non-fiction:

If you’re writing a spiritual, metaphysical, personal development or other non-fiction book with a personal element, I’ll look at your focus, the organization and development of your material. I’ll also make sure you’ve answered for yourself and your reader/agent/editor the three critical questions about your book. Again, this is not a copy or proofreading edit.

To make sure you’re on the right track with your manuscript…
