**Please note that the Two4One Critique offer is outside of the critique opportunities offered at the Write2Ignite! Conferences.
Please note: this is not an editing service, therefore, we do not point out or correct mechanical errors.
Who Will Do the Critiques?
Members of the Write2Ignite! Leadership Team will critique your manuscript. Our bios are available HERE. Occasionally, one of our Conference presenters may volunteer to assist us with the critiques.
So, What’s the Disclaimer?
The Write2Ignite! Two4One Critiques include our opinions and suggestions for improving the quality of your manuscript. They are based upon the knowledge, skills and experience we have gained as writers in the field of children’s literature. We offer no guarantee that our service will improve your chances of being published, but we do promise that we will offer you our honest and conscientious opinions related to the literary elements and devices in the manuscript you entrust to us.
“Plans fail when there is no counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”
