Middle-Grade Manuscript Critique Needed
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m ready for a deep editorial dive into my 40,000-word middle-grade manuscript. More than anything, I want to know where the plot wobbles, which characters still feel two-dimensional, and where the pacing drags or races ahead of itself. I’m asking for honest, constructive criticism—please don’t sugar-coat problem areas, but do offer clear, practical ways I can strengthen them.
Deliverables
• A concise editorial letter (roughly 2–3 pages) that assesses plot consistency, character development, and overall pacing/flow, with actionable recommendations.
• Inline comments in Track Changes (Word) or suggestions in Google Docs that point to specific passages needing attention.
Acceptance criteria
The editorial letter must speak to each focus area in depth, include at least one concrete fix for every major issue raised, and return within the mutually agreed timeline.
Experience with middle-grade voice, structure, and reader expectations is essential; proficiency in MS Word or Google Docs for inline notes will keep the process smooth. If that aligns with your skill set, I look forward to your insights.
