Manuscript Critique

So, you’ve got a manuscript–a novel, an essay collection or even a single short story or essay. If you’re looking for someone to read your work and offer fresh perspectives and tailored revision strategies, please contact Annabella to discuss your manuscript, your goals, and your timeline.

Open to: Short and Long Prose, Memoir, Nonfiction, Fiction, Essays, Short Stories, Short and Longform Journalism, and Academic Writing.

Word Limit: Please check on projects more than 50,000 words for timeline and availability.

What You’ll Submit: A full or partial manuscript and a brief description of your project and revision goals.

What You’ll Get: A 30-minute initial consult to discuss your goals for the project, a line-edited manuscript and editorial letter. Line edits will focus on technical qualities including grammar, spelling, punctuation, and sentence structure, as well as style, tone and word choice. The editorial letter will outline strengths and areas for improvement, address theme, content, and formatting, offer specific suggestions for revision strategies, and recommend next steps.

Turnaround: Turnaround is 1-2 weeks depending on length and availability.
