About this service
We give a developmental critique of your self-help, business, memoir-driven or popular nonfiction book. We check whether the book's promise is clear on the first pages, whether the chapters build in a logical order toward that promise, and whether each chapter gives the reader examples, evidence and something to do. Claims that need a source are flagged, and repetition across chapters is pointed out with quotes.

Will you rewrite my chapters?
No. The critique shows what to change and why; the writing stays yours. Premium adds line edits of the opening.
