Get a Written Critique of Your Personal Story from a Professional Editor for Only $30!

You've written a real-life story—a narrative essay, creative nonfiction story, or inspiring true story. You think your story is great—and so do your friends. But you want to get it published. And, so far, all you've gotten are rejections. Or maybe you haven't even had the confidence to submit your story to a publisher or a writing contest, yet.

Have you ever wondered, Why isn't my story getting published? or Does my story have a shot at winning a writing contest? or How can I improve my story--and, along with it, my chances of getting it published?

Well, now you can find out by submitting your story to be critiqued!

Here's what others are saying about our personalized story writing critiques:


"This is a great critique. What a bargain . . . . Thank you very much."  —Samantha

"The critique that I received was immensely helpful! For the very first time I was able to look at my "creation" and see how it could only be made better. Having laid it open to the eyes, opinion and influence of a knowledgeable outsider, I was then able to take the suggestions offered and rewrite my story into a narrative that I truly believe is a thousand times better than the original submission. If you really want to improve your writing skills, give the Cup Of Comfort Story Critique a go. I promise you that you won't be disappointed." —Stacey

"Thank you. Your advice is right on. Such an interesting critique." —Linda

Note: If you choose to purchase a story critique, it will not be officially submitted for publication in one of our volumes due to the pending revisions. After the story critique process is complete, you must resubmit your short story. Therefore, we need to receive story submissions no later than 15 business days before the deadline of the specific book volume you are submitting to.
