Your first chapter is your chance to make a spectacular promise and a first impression that hooks and doesn’t let go. Offering full expert critique of up to the first 3,000 words of your novel, we'll cover characters, clarity, concept, plot, presentation and more.
That’s how long any publishing house reader or prospective agent will initially invest in your book.
If the story doesn’t captivate and impress by the time those pages have gone by, your dreams of making it beyond the slush pile will all but have evaporated.
The same is true for readers and reviewers, even if your book is complete and self-published. People simply don’t want to invest their time in writing that fails to grip and entertain from the off.
