Critiques and Feedback
Short Story Critiquing Service
Have your short story critiqued by in-house editor for £15.
Short stories up to 6,000 words accepted. A report of two-three A4 pages will be compiled offering an appraisal and suggestions on how to improve the story in several areas, including style, pacing, dialogue, character and theme. Severe and/or repeated typos will be highlighted, but this is not a thorough proofreading service.
If you'd like to have your competition entry critiqued as well as considered for a competition just enclose a SAE and a cheque made payable to Leaf for £15 with your postal entry.
Please include a covering letter with the relevant details.
(Please note that critiques on stories entered into competitions will not be returned until after the competition results have been announced.)
A recent person who had one of our critiques done said -
'Your critique of my short story "The Colour of Roses" caused me to rewrite the ending, and change the title to "Deadlocked." It sold almost immediately, and appeared in The Yellow Room's first issue. Many thanks to you and your crew.'
Many writers have asked about a poetry critiquing service after the popularity of the short story critiquing service so we decided to add this to our writers' services.
A panel of readers and our poetry editor will look at your work and give constructive feedback.
The price for this service is £5 per poem or 3 poems for £12. Enclose a cheque made payable to Leaf and a SAE with your poems.
