About

If you’ve ever wondered what agents and editors are looking for in a manuscript, or what catches the eye of bookstore buyers, let Rafe offer you a one-on-one critique of the first 10,000 words of your manuscript and your book synopsis.

Maybe you know your manuscript needs something but you just can’t identify what it is, or you’re getting ready to query agents and want one last professional review of your pages. Rafe will give you editorial feedback on how to take your work to the next level.

Get your critique before agents open to queries in September!

Details

  • Open to four registrants only.
  • You're registering for a submission deadline of Aug. 1.
  • You'll arrange a separate time later in the month to meet with Rafe and discuss his critique.
  • Authors will receive a written editorial letter and a one-hour meeting with Rafe.
