Affordable Manuscript/Book Critique





Congratulations, you've finally finished that new book!

You've had your wife or husband, sister, best friend and a cousin read it, but the only response you seem to get is … "It's good" or  "I liked it."

We all know that isn't enough. What you need is in-depth feedback, a review from a knowledgable source with a critical eye. 

 That's where I come in!

Critique Service:

I will read your completed manuscript or self-published book and give you the critique you crave. Fee: $40 for books up to 80,000 word count. Slightly higher for longer books.

I will provide a critique of approximately 500 words in length including:
  • An overview and review of the book
  • Comments on character development and like-ability of protagonist(s)
  • Comments on the plausibility of storyline, noting elements that may negatively influence a reader's suspension of belief
  • Comments on the flow of the story
  • My review posted on Amazon and Goodreads (if desired)
In addition, I will point out:
  • Redundancies and other perceived problematic areas
  • Editing, grammatical and typographical issues
  • ebook formatting issues (if applicable)

Summer Read-a-Thon

I was invited to join the blog, Seasons of Reading's "High Summer Read-a-Thon." It's not a contest, but an inspiration to read. A quote from the event's organizer, Michelle, True Book Addict: "I hope you're ready to take a much needed break from your summer whirlwind, jump in the hammock and get some good reading in. I know I am!" The official dates are July 20th through the 26th. Sign up at the Seasons of Reading blog here: http://seasonsreading.blogspot.com/20... Hope you will join us, and read!  Up first on my TBR is " Ugly Love " by Colleen Hoover. This New Adult book is one of Hoover's newest and has gotten lots of love from readers.

Meet author Jan Sikes

I'm happy to share my blog with with fellow member authors of  Rave Reviews Book Club   as part of the RRBC's  Pay It Forward Week. Initially introduced by author Bethany Turner, the concept of Pay It Forward is to profile, promote and propel another fellow club member to new audiences for the day. This month I have the honor of hosting Jan Sikes. Jan has authored four books about the journey of two people moving through adversity, growing and learning about life and love. Interestingly, though she uses fictitious names, the books chronicle her life and relationship with her husband, the late singer-songwriter, Rick Sikes. This North Texan incorporates bits of wisdom and hard-learned lessons in her fiction stories and hopes to reach readers in a positive way. Her titles include: Flowers and Stone  Nothing could have prepared Darlina Flowers for the reckless Texas rogue musician, Luke Stone, to come stampeding into her life like a team of wild hor...
