End of the Year Sale — Novel Critiques!

November 26, 2018 by Karin Beery Leave a Comment

Black Friday, Shop Small Saturday, and Cyber Monday are behind us, but the holiday savings aren’t over yet — this December I’m offering 25% off all novel critiques!

What’s a critique? It’s a review of your manuscript without the line-by-line comments and edits. It includes:

  • Overall assessment of the story and writing strengths and weaknesses
  • Comments and suggestions at the end of each chapter
  • Fiction Fliers to explain various fiction-writing techniques (as needed)
  • Recommendations for the next step

When and why should you consider a critique?

  1. When you’re in a hurry. Substantive edits can take 4-6 weeks to complete depending on how much work the manuscript needs and how detailed of an edit you’ve requested. Sometimes, however, you need (or want!) input faster than that. Because a critique is an assessment (not an edit), it usually only takes 1-2 weeks. Perfect for the person who’s looking for tips NOW!
  2. When finances are tight. In an ideal world, every new author would hire a substantive editor before submitting their first manuscript to an agent or publisher. Realistically, however, that edit can cost upwards of $4,000. Not everyone can afford that. That’s where critiques can help — get a professional review, suggestions, tips, and recommendations at a fraction of the cost of a substantive edit!
  3. When you don’t know what you need. Not sure whether or not your book is ready for an edit? Are you wondering if your story is even worth pursuing? Then consider a critique. Not only will you receive comments and suggestions from an industry professional, but you can apply the cost of your critique toward a substantive, developmental, or line edit, when you’re ready.*

From now until the end of the month, anyone who schedules a novel critique for 2019 will receive 25% off the full critique — that’s just $1.50 per page! But don’t wait until that manuscript is done to contact me! Editors’ schedules fill up quickly, including mine. Reserve your spot today to make sure you get on the schedule for your novel critique.

Questions? Don’t hesitate to ask, and have a very merry Christmas!
