Get feedback that moves your story forward.

With an outline critique, you get actionable feedback on your story structure, plot, character arcs, and conflict - the story elements that hook readers and keep them flying through your novel until they reach "the end" and run to recommend your book to all their friends.


You want clear, specific feedback that works for your story. 

Not your friend's. Not the latest bestseller in a totally different genre. 


This isn't another asynchronous online course that you'll forget about or a craft book that will sit on your bookshelf collecting dust. 

And nope, no bland, bumper-sticker feedback here.

Just personalized feedback from a professional developmental editor.

Here's exactly what an outline critique gets you...

Detailed comments on your entire outline (up to 6,500 words)

So that you know exactly what works and what needs work in your story. My comments are insightful, specific, and above all, supportive.

Genre-specific feedback on your conflict, character development, and plot structure

So that you can give your future readers exactly what they want and create a story that matches your unique vision. 

Personalized suggestions for your next steps

So that you can draft or revise with confidence and clarity no matter where you are in the writing process

Step-by-step instructions for formatting your outline, outline templates, and a sample outline

So that you know exactly what to submit to get the best possible feedback on your outline. I've also included videos that walk you through the process of scheduling and submitting your outline. Plus, I'm here to support if the tech gremlins get in your way. 

Total scheduling flexibility 

Your plot critique purchase doesn't expire and with my online booking form, you can schedule whenever, wherever you are. Book up to 365 days in advance and easily reschedule if plans change. 

Access to returning customer discounts on all future editing services and future plot critiques

So that you never have to navigate the writing process alone. The journey to publication is fraught with challenges, think of me as your trusty writing mentor, here to help you navigate this path with ease.

Hi, I'm Olivia  and I help writers.

 I like to call myself an educator-editor because I don't just give feedback on one project, I give feedback that teaches you how to be a better writer. 


I created my business to help writers cut through the overwhelm, the confusion, and toxic writing advice that keeps writers stuck staring at a screen instead of finishing their book. Just remember: you can write great books. Olivia can help!

I submitted my outline to Olivia for feedback and am amazed by the depth of her review. I had no idea that having a review of the outline could yield such a depth of analysis. 


 The feedback, just on the outline, was full of insight. Some of the questions she asked during her review showed me areas where I could escalate conflict and actually pointed out areas where both internal and external conflict existed which I had not realized, and which could be further exploited. 


 I also felt that she was genuinely interested in my characters and in my world. Having someone else show such interest in my book also inspired me to keep writing through the morass of the middle where I was stuck when I submitted the outline.

Outline Critique Customer
You get actionable feedback or your money back.

Getting feedback is inherently vulnerable. If you don't get valuable feedback from my critique, I'll refund your money. It's that simple.

      • What if I've already written a draft?
        Congratulations on that awesome accomplishment! You can still benefit from an outline critique. You'll need to reverse outline your story (a.k.a. write an outline based on your current draft) so that I can critique your story's structure. Looking for feedback on your entire draft - I can help with that too! Check out my editing services at https://oliviahelpswriters.com/editing.
      • What if I don't have an outline or a draft yet or I'm not quite ready to get feedback on my outline?
        That's okay! Your outline critique purchase never expires. Seriously, buy now and schedule your critique whenever you're ready (up to 365 days in advance). You'll lock in the current price and with my online booking system, you can schedule your critique whenever you're ready.
      • How will I get my plot critique?
        As soon as your purchase is complete, you'll receive access to the submission instructions, outline templates, booking page, and videos that walk you through each step of the process.

        You'll schedule your outline critique (and follow-up coaching call if you've selected this option) via YouCanBook.Me. You can submit your outline as a Google Doc or Word document.

        Feeling a little bit tech-phobic? That's okay!! You can also submit via email (and don't forget, there are videos to help you with each step).
      • Am I guaranteed a critique on a specific date? What's the turnaround time?
        Outline critiques are first come, first served. You will be able to schedule your outline critique as soon as your purchase is complete and you've logged in to the Thrivecart platform. I recommend scheduling in advance (you can schedule up to 365 days ahead). Additional terms and conditions apply.

        After submission, your critique will typically be returned in 2-5 business days. Occasionally, there may be a longer wait. A specific return date will be communicated as soon as your outline submission is received.
