Are you looking for a fresh, impartial critique to help prepare your manuscript for submission? An opinion from someone with years of experience in the literary world? Honest feedback from an author who has been published and has an intimate knowledge of the industry?

Three Dayton, Ohio, published novelists and teachers have started a new business, The Write Sisters: Fiction Manuscript Consultants.

Katrina Kittle, Kristina McBride and Sharon Short have 50 years of experience in publishing, and have spent a collective 40 years teaching various levels of English and creative writing. Kittle has served on the faculty at the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop, and Short, who directs the Antioch Writers' Workshop, has judged a number of writing competitions, including the 2014 Erma Bombeck Writing Competition.

The three will edit most genres for the middle grade, young adult, new adult and adult audience, from short stories and novellas up to approximately 125,000 words (500 pages) in length. In addition, they also offer feedback on query letters and synopses.

The goal of The Write Sisters is to guide writers in honing overall aspects of voice, plotting and narrative, as well as polishing the nitty-gritty details, all while staying true to the heart of the story. They hope to fuel the passion writers have for the manuscript they are creating, and to offer a final push to enhance the piece in preparation for submission.
