Like a Manuscript Critique, an Editorial Critique can be incredibly valuable for writers seeking an overall evaluation of their work. It offers feedback on the manuscript's strengths and highlights areas that require improvement, but there are differences between the two Critiques.

An Editorial Critique thoroughly reviews a manuscript to help make it more appealing within its genre. It serves as a detailed guide to improve the story and catch readers' attention. The main goal is to elevate the narrative to meet genre standards and engage the audience effectively. This critique includes identifying the right genre, ensuring it follows genre rules, offering advice on how to structure the story well, providing resources for creating similar stories, maintaining a clear narrative voice, developing a strong plot, keeping readers interested, pointing out any plot issues or inconsistencies, checking for grammar mistakes and word choices. We will flag any easily resolved conscious language issues; however, we may recommend Sensitivity Reading or rewrites if there are recurring concerns in the manuscript.

Please be aware that an Editorial Critique doesn't involve extensive editing and revision like developmental editing, it provides guidance and suggestions to enhance the quality of the writing as a whole.
