The first chapter of your novel is the make-it-or-break-it point for most readers. It often determines if an agent or publisher will choose to take on your book, who will buy your book at the bookstore, or who will put it back on the shelves.
The first chapter of your book is the most important chapter of your book, and it needs to be flawless.
That’s where I come in.
Whether you’re ready to send your manuscript off to agents and publishers, self-publish it yourself, or you’re simply just not sure if it’s working for you and you want a second opinion, I’ve got you.
A first-chapter critique costs $75 AUD Flat

First Chapter Critique
The first chapter critique covers:
- Opening line critique
- How you introduce your main character/s as well as their goals, motivations and internal conflicts
- Worldbuilding and setting (without overcomplicating it!)
- How the plot points of your story fit in relation to your genre
- Is your story hookworthy?
- Catalyst or inciting incident
With this first chapter critique, I will provide you with a comprehensive critique letter and in-line comments. Basically, it’s a line edit and a developmental edit on your first chapter. Winning!
Please note: I work with writers from all over the world. My prices are in AUD because I are an Australian business, but I also work in American English. If you are from outside Australia, please let me know at the time of booking. 🙂
