Creative Writing Critique Service
Would you like to have your work reviewed? Our talented tutors will analyze your work, and provide a report on it. This independent appraisal identifies the strengths and weaknesses of your work. And we offer a big reduction to students of the Institute of Creative Writing.
The advantages of this service include:
- Improve your chances of getting published.
- Have an independent published author review your work with a dispassionate eye - it's hard to evaluate your own work.
- Sharpen the quality of your book by having an expert point out problems with character, plot or theme.

2. Outline report. This is suitable for writers
who want an overview of their work, and those who have already commissioned
a Detailed Report. We provide an overview of the work's viability,
and identify any major issue. We don't provide in-depth recommendations
for improvements. You will receive a written 3-4 page report, which
takes 2-3 weeks. |
£150, $290 |
£195, $370 |
| 3. Short Text Report. We will review and critique a novel chapter, a submission package, or short story (up to 16 pages in length). The critique will look at how likely the work is to get published, and highlights any major areas of weakness. This takes 1-2 weeks and results in a 1-2 page report. |
