An In-Depth Critique can help bring your project to completion. At times it may be difficult to see your novel or short story clearly from where you are sitting. A fresh eye can help. An in-depth critique can help you see your project through the eyes of the reader.
An in-depth critique can tell you what is clear and unclear; what works and doesn't work. This includes clarity of narration, pacing, voice, character(s), dialogue, plot, scenery, etc. - whatever is applicable to the success of your work as a whole - always with respect to the writer's voice and intention.
You can submit by mail or email, whichever you prefer.

Words of Wisdom from Two Great Writers:
"As I tell my writing students, the only way to find your 'voice' or 'voices' is by writing every day and constantly discovering not only what you want to say, but how you want to say it. I also feel that it's important to share your work with other people. When I write a new draft, I like to read it out loud to anyone who will listen. Their reactions often lead me to my revision. But also hearing the words, rather than just seeing them in silence on the page, gives me new insight about how to fix imperfect work. And that's one thing you have to accept about writing from the start. That your early drafts are going to be highly imperfect, and that revision is probably the most important writing you do."
~ Wally Lamb. Author of She's Come Undone; I Know This Much is True; and The Hour I First Believed.
"I regret that I stayed in a career for years and years even though I was unhappy. I stayed for the money and I stayed because I was afraid to follow my gut. But finally I reached a point in my life where it was life or death. And I decided to write. I decided, I might live in a cheap rented room somewhere in the Midwest and I might own nothing but a computer and a pair of jeans and a jacket, but for the rest of my life I will write and I will not stop. The essay 'Locked Out' in Possible Side Effects talks about the point where I reached this decision."
~ Augusten Burroughs. Author of Running With Scissors; Dry; A Wolf at the Table; Possible Side Effects.
