NOTE: MCS is a fully-remote collective that is currently not affected by the COVID-19 virus. We are operating under normal business conditions. Our thoughts are with the many people currently impacted by the virus, and we are grateful to the healthcare, grocery, and other workers who are risking their health to provide food, care, and other essential services during this difficult time. 

What we do

Manuscript Critique Services is a freelance editing service run by five traditionally published YA authors: Paula Stokes, Jessica Spotswood, Tiffany Schmidt, Elizabeth Richards, and Emily Hainsworth. We specialize in editing Middle Grade and Young Adult novels. We offer a range of editing services to help you at each step of the publishing process, from query letters to in-depth manuscript critiques.

OUR EDITORS

We have over thirty years of combined publishing experience and have released over two dozen novels collectively. In addition, all of us worked as freelance editors, journalists, or educators prior to joining MCS. We're not just passionate about writing; we really love sharing what we've learned. Check out our bios for more information.

SERVICES AND RATES 

As authors, we understand how important it is to have an expert eye cast over your manuscript, but we don't see why professional advice can't also be affordable. That's why we offer a range of services that will help you on your road to publication, from query critiques to 'Big-Picture' and line edits, all available at reasonable prices.

TESTIMONIALS

"Jess understands voice, she has a knack for characterization, and she knows how to bring a book to the next level. Without her, my last three books would definitely have been missing something. She rocks!"
