Critique Services

If you have read Critique Groups—To Join or Not to Join under my Writing Articles, you know that I encourage writers to join one.  I do understand, however, that there are some writers who are hesitant to share their writing in a group setting. 

It can be intimidating to walk into a room of strangers and hand over your writing.  What if they don’t like it?  What if they don’t think that you’re a good writer?  These are natural feelings and disappear after you have received the benefit of a good critique.  When you contemplate suggestions and implement helpful ones, you quickly become addicted to having your writing critiqued on a regular basis.  To this day, I don’t market anything until my group has reviewed it.

For those who are hesitant to join a group, I offer critique services.  My hope is, however, that after you become comfortable with being critiqued, you will find a group in your area or start one of your own.  I believe there is value in hearing different perspectives and enjoying the camaraderie of other writers.

If you are interested, email me at quillvision@aol.com, and we’ll discuss the details.  The cost for the service is $1.00 per double-spaced page.  You can pay through PayPal, or I will accept checks through the mail.  When a client is local (Claremont CA), I prefer to meet on a weekly basis to review the critique. 

As an introductory offer, I will edit the first ten pages for free.  If you find the critique helpful and are interested in additional editing, we can continue to work together.
