We critique the writing, not the writer
Professional critique services provided by
published, award-winning and best-selling authors.

Do you need our critique service? You've written a book, or at least, part of one. Perhaps it has been rejected by several publishers and literary agents and you still don't know why. Perhaps you haven't submitted it for consideration yet but want a professional opinion before you do. Then read on...

LiteraryAgent.co.uk are able to offer you a manuscript critique service to review your work and supply a professional report from which you'll be able to edit your manuscript, if and where required. We'll tell you where the book succeeds, and where it fails. We'll tell you our honest opinion as to the quality of your work and the likelihood of it being accepted for representation and/or publication. Whilst always being polite and respectful, we will provide an independent critique of your work - something friends and family cannot do. Our review is also a tool that you should send to literary agents and publishers when you submit your work for consideration.

We have a full complement of Reviewers. Expect to receive constructive criticism to really help you achieve your potential as a writer.

Our Reviewers will look at all aspects of your writing, including:

  • Plot
  • Characterisation
  • Dialogue
  • Style / Format
  • Technique
  • Pacing
  • Conflict
  • Continuity

You will receive a comprehensive professional report which will include recommendations for improvement.

At LiteraryAgent.co.uk we are only as good as those who work for us, which is why our team consists of published, best-selling, and award winning authors.
Who better to review, critique, and offer advice on your work than those that have been through the process and journey that you are about to embark on. Decide who you would like to review your manuscript (subject to availability), or let us choose one for you.
