Is your content as good as it could be? Good writing is good writing, regardless of genre or application. Rely on Hen House Publishing’s deep understanding of English language conventions and effective writing to correct errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, and sentence structure. We’ll strengthen weak writing, tighten flabby prose, and clarify awkward or ambiguous phrases. We’ll identify flaws for remediation, such as plot holes (fiction), inconsistencies, discrepancies, tautologies, and other issues. We’ll suggest improvements where appropriate to enhance readers’ engagement and comprehension. And we’ll verify facts to ensure verisimilitude which suspends the reader’s disbelief.

I would not have been able to self-publish my book without the support and assistance of Hen House Publishing. The owner, Karen, was very knowledgeable and expertly assisted me in moving through the process for Kindle Direct Publishing. Karen was very professional and responded quickly to my questions and issues. Without hesitation, I recommend Hen House Publishing if you are considering self-publishing.

Manuscript Critique

Have your story?
We can suggest improvements.

As a first-time author, I cannot recommend Karen’s services highly enough. She is professional, dependable, and committed to making your project the best it can be. She did a critique of my work, the editing, and the formatting. Karen was the thought partner I needed. She did more than just correct spelling and grammar. She provided invaluable insight to my Christian non-fiction book that greatly improved the clarity of the ideas I was presenting. I look forward to working with her on my future projects!

Kimberly Gilson, Author

You wrote a story, but is it good? Or perhaps you know that your story needs further development, but you don’t know what.

This is where a critique comes in. We call it “developmental editing lite.”

A manuscript critique involves an objective review of your manuscript to identify flaws concerning to character development, plot holes, anachronisms, and other errors that pull the reader from the narrative. A critique will also note those especially masterful passages, so you know what you did well. The critique will suggest general improvements to enhance the quality of your manuscript.

What you’ll get is a two-part report. The first part contains overall impressions and observations regarding the story and mentions any consistently recurring issues. The second part consists of a list of specific issues to be addressed.

No AI Guarantee: Hen House Publishing does not use AI to analyze your manuscript. When you hire us for a manuscript critique, you get a human being who analyzes every word on every line of the document.
