PAID CRITIQUE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES By choosing to use our paid critique service you have shown your commitment to becoming the best, most professional writer you can be. A member of our professional critique team will review your manuscript; however, no one can guarantee publication of your work. They will give you a thorough review of the strengths and weaknesses of your writing, offer suggestions for improvement, and help you identify potential markets. Each member of the team has a heart for encouraging you as a writer, wherever you are in the development of your career. Your paid critique entitles you to a half-hour consultation with the individual who reviewed your manuscript.
