Editorial critique service for just $25

Feedback is gold for new writers, but very few literary magazines or ezines will tell you why they rejected your manuscript.

But how’s a writer supposed to improve, if no one offers any feedback? CommuterLit.com has come up with a solution. There is, of course, no fee to submit your manuscript for consideration for publication on CommuterLit.com. But if you would like to receive a two-page critique on your prose submission from CommuterLit.com’s editor, Nancy Kay Clark, a nominal fee of $25 (including applicable taxes) will be charged. Sorry, we cannot accept poetry for evaluation at this time.

This money will help cover the cost of website maintenance and the editor’s time.
