Everything you need to know about partnering with Indie Global for your publishing journey.
A manuscript critique (also called a structural edit or developmental edit) provides high-level feedback on the big-picture elements of your book, such as plot, pacing, character development, and theme, rather than focusing on grammar or spelling.
The best time for a critique is after you have completed a full draft but before you move into sentence-level editing. It helps ensure the foundation of your story is strong.
Depending on the tier selected and word count, critiques typically take 10-21 business days. Priority scheduling is available in the Premium tier.
