• An overall evaluation of the manuscript's strengths and weaknesses.
• For works of fiction, specific comments on elements such as plot, characterization, dialogue, and setting.
• For works of nonfiction, specific comments on focus, development, organization, clarity, visual elements (if applicable).
• Specific comments on appropriateness to proposed target market.
• A red flag on consistent issues of grammar, mechanics, spelling or style.
• A clear idea of how to revise

Our 2nd Draft Critique Editors Will Not:

• Rewrite or revise for you, except in the case of providing an example of how to revise on your own.
• Correct grammar, mechanics and spelling or check for correct style (e.g. Chicago Manual or AP styles). This requires a professional proofreader or copyeditor. However, a reviewer will point out any patterns of surface-level error that may pose a significant problem for you.
• Provide any fact-checking.
• Provide answers or advice on legal issues.
