Critiquing
Proofreading and line-editing focus on correctness, clarity, and brevity.
What about your story or article? Is it compelling? Are there problems with logic or structure? For fiction, does your main character act on her own accord, or is she just along for the ride?
We review the broad strokes of your work, providing comments within the text and a separate written critique.
What we offer...
Critiquing is a higher-level analysis that aims to improve the quality of your writing by correcting or enhancing the "broad strokes" of your work.
For critiquing projects, we identify problems and offer solutions in the following areas:
- Draws your reader
- Stagnation of story, characters
- Confusing logic, organization, structure
- Inconsistent writing style
- Theme
- Marketability
