Are you ready to query a literary agent?
Need to polish up a manuscript so that it's submission ready?
Stuck on a story and need a fresh perspective?
Just want help on how to approach revision and adding craft?

I now offer picture book manuscript critiques! For $40, I will closely read and critique your manuscript.

With your picture book critique, you will receive feedback on:

  • the flow of your story

  • structure

  • plot/stakes/heart of your story

  • plot holes or inconsistencies

  • language choices you've made

  • line edits

  • suggestions for revision and putting it all together!


As a bonus, once you receive your critique back and make revisions, you can send me a revised manuscript for a quick read through comments.

It's like you're getting two for one!

You'll be submission ready in no time.

Interested? Fill out the contact and I'll be in touch very soon.

*Manuscript revision must be sent within one month of critique receipt
