Looking for thoughtful feedback on your manuscript?
We offer thoughtful, in-depth manuscript consultations for writers working on books of poetry, memoir, fiction, and other long-form or hybrid projects. These consultations are designed for writers at any stage of a manuscript—early drafts, partials, or full books—who want clear-eyed feedback from experienced readers who take their work seriously.
We focus on structure, voice, pacing, and intention, as well as the larger questions that shape a project: What is this book trying to do? What is it doing especially well? Where might it be holding back, or losing momentum? Rather than rewriting your work, we help you see it more clearly, so you can revise with confidence and purpose.
Consultations typically include a close reading of your manuscript, a written editorial letter, and the option of a follow-up conversation to talk through next steps. Feedback is candid, supportive, and specific, tailored to your goals as a writer.
Poetry, memoir, and hybrid or experimental projects are handled by Emma Winsor Wood.
Fiction projects (novels, novellas, and short story collections) are handled by Conner Bassett.
If you’re unsure where your project fits, we’re happy to help you decide.
