Critiquing

We offer a tailored critique and feedback service for writers, at any stage of their work.

For prose fiction or creative nonfiction, we can assess an opening extract, a work-in-progress of any length, a synopsis, a full novel or memoir, individual short stories or a collection.

If you’re writing for the screen, we’ll critique your screenplays, TV pilots, outlines and treatments.

Depending on requirements, we will write up a detailed written report, addressing strengths and weaknesses, character, plot, structure and writing style, flagging any other issues. Every report is unique and tailored to each individual writer. A follow-up Skype or phone call can also be arranged.

We have extensive experience of manuscript critique and can assess most types of fiction, screenwriting and non-fiction. We also offer areas of specialism.

Advanced critique/copy editing

If you are working on a final draft of your manuscript or screenplay, we offer line editing to help you polish your work and get it ready for submission. Please enquire about costs.

We also offer mentoring for writers who would like ongoing support – click the link for more information.

You can read some feedback from writers who have used our critiquing and mentoring services here.
