Story Inspection

A “light touch” developmental edit, the AutoCrit Story Inspection offers you complete, start-to-finish coverage of your novel or novella. Your reviewer will help uncover key strengths and weaknesses in your book’s plot, character development, world building and pacing, and pinpoint the areas that are likely to cause trouble for readers, agents, or potential publishers of your work.

Get a Professional Perspective On Your Novel

You’ve worked hard on your manuscript. Soon, it’ll be time to find an agent or publisher who will take it on, or to begin the expensive process of self-publishing to a professional standard.

But how do you know if your book is truly ready?

Agents receive thousands of queries each year, which means they’re reading through books at lightning speed with no time to give feedback on what specifically works and doesn’t work about a novel. The only way to be sure that your work is as good as you think it is, and that there aren’t any fatal flaws in the plot, character development or pacing, is to have outside eyes look at it.

And for the best results, those outside eyes ought to be those of an industry professional who lives and breathes storytelling.

“The review was amazing! The advice and suggestions were insightful and easy to understand. Now that I know some of the trouble spots, I am eager to tighten those up and make things clearer so I can pull the reader into my world.”

Your manuscript is in good hands with AutoCrit's team of story inspectors. We will pair your story with the ideal reviewer based on genre and audience, so your feedback reflects real-world expectations.

Step 2
We leave in-line comments while reading your story

An AutoCrit inspector doesn’t cut corners! We will read every single sentence from “Once Upon a Time” to “The End,” leaving in-line comments to show you the exact areas where you can make your story stronger.

Step 3
We write up
your Inspection

Your story inspector will write an additional review summarizing the strengths and weaknesses of your novel across areas such as plot, pacing, world-building, characters and more.
