Services Offered

A thorough review of your manuscript focused on broader aspects of the piece answering the following questions - does the story follow a logical path, do 

the characters seem realistic, is the writing too cliched. 

Being voracious readers who devour a multitude of fiction and non-fiction texts, we are very likely to belong to the section of readers that your manuscript is targeting. Once your first draft if ready, we will give it an alpha read, critiquing it from the perspective of the customers/ readers.

If your manuscript is print-ready - edited, typeset and proofread - and you would like an expert from your target readership to suggest last-minute changes and get an idea of how it might fare upon being published, please send it to us for a beta read.

This entails more of a professional critique of your manuscript. While many literary agents these days do provide feedback and a round of edits before pitching it to prospective publishers, they have gotten highly selective, expecting a ready-to-publish level of writing.

While dealing with sensitive issues or representing marginalized communities, several authors, illustrators, editors and publishers hire inclusion consultants/ sensitivity readers with lived experience to ensure an authenticity and to weed out tokenism and stereotypes. Please get in touch to check if we consult on the lived experiences that you are looking for.

If you have a rough idea of what you wish to write about but are unsure where to begin, we can help you in formulating a chapter plan and drafting suitable character sketches.
