A manuscript critique is a detailed analysis of your story. It helps you identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement before you spend your hard-earned money on professional editing. At Wandering Worlds, we also call it Editorial Report.
Here’s what you can expect from a thorough critique:
- Strengths overview: Highlights what’s working well in your story.

- Clarity and consistency checks: Ensures your story flows smoothly and maintains a consistent tone throughout.
- Character feedback: Insights on character development and relatability.
- Plot structure evaluation: Analysis of pacing, tension, and overall flow.
- Market readiness assessment (optional): Guidance on how your manuscript fits within current trends.
- Actionable suggestions: Specific recommendations for revisions to enhance your work.
