Book coach and editor Katie Wall will review the first 20 pages of your manuscript!

The 20 pages can be from either a finished or in-progress manuscript, but must be submitted in standard manuscript format: 12pt Times New Roman font, double-spaced, 1" margins in Word.

The manuscript MUST be from one of the following genres for YA or Adult audiences: epic fantasy, soft sci-fi, dystopian, contemporary fiction, or women's lit.

Katie will read your pages and leave developmental edit-level comments throughout, then write a summary editorial letter highlighting the major growth areas and the author's next steps.

A 30-minute 1:1 coaching call via Zoom is included to discuss the feedback as well. The read/ critique may be used by the winner or "gifted" to someone else as long as the other person can comply with this criteria.
