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!
