Two perspectives. One stronger manuscript.
Receive two independent critiques of your work from Write2Ignite reviewers, with thoughtful feedback on your manuscript’s strengths and opportunities for improvement.
$60 standard | $45 W2I members
If you’re fairly new to the writing business or trying out a different genre, you may wonder whether or not you’re doing it right. Or maybe you have a manuscript that you feel is almost — but not quite — working, and you’re not sure why. What can you do? Get a professional critique, of course!
Two-for-One Critiques are available for the fee of $60, or a discounted fee of $45 for our members! One manuscript will be critiqued independently by two members of our faculty or Planning Team (see page limits at the bottom of this page).
A critique will give you a thorough review of the strengths and weaknesses of your writing, offer suggestions for improvement, and possibly help you identify potential markets. If you have questions before submitting, please contact Brenda Covert at Two4One@write2ignite.com.
Instead of focusing on mechanical errors in grammar, spelling, and punctuation, our critiques will focus on the meat of your story. We will point out strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript and make suggestions for improvement. These suggestions may include any of the following:
All manuscripts should be 12-pt, Times New Roman, double-spaced (unless otherwise noted), with one-inch margins. Include your name, email, the title of your piece, type of manuscript, and the page number on each of your manuscript’s pages. (See page limit below.)
Write2Ignite serves writers of children’s and young adult literature from a Christian perspective. Our critiques focus on the craft of writing, the strength of the manuscript, and its intended audience, informed by our mission and values.
You don’t need to agree with our Statement of Faith to request a critique. We do ask that you understand the perspective from which our feedback is offered.

If you’re uncertain whether your manuscript is a good fit for our critique service, please contact Brenda Covert before submitting payment.
Our Write2Ignite Two-for-One Critique Service does not guarantee the marketability of your manuscript. We believe our insights and comments will improve and strengthen your work. But, ultimately, only you can decide what advice to take and how to revise your manuscript.
Write2Ignite reserves the right to decline manuscripts that fall outside the scope of our critique service. If we are unable to accept your manuscript, your critique fee will be refunded in full.
