Today’s Giveaway
Imagine if three veteran beta readers gave you feedback on your finished manuscript, which was then analyzed and curated into a report for you by a seasoned editor.
You’re not dreaming – you can win this prize!
At a value of $499, the Complete Manuscript Package is The Spun Yarn‘s most detailed manuscript critique, curated by The Spun Yarn Editor based on full reads from three veteran readers.
The Spun Yarn starts by selecting readers according to your genre and any other demographic factors you’d like us to consider: if you’ve written a YA they will assign a mix of teen and adult YA lovers, or if you’ve written in a specific setting they will tap one of our readers from the area. Each reader reads your full MS (up to 100,000 words) and answers a series of questions, including real-time check-ins, overall quantitative feedback, questions you’ve posed, and scores in eight key categories like Plot and Character.
What makes the Complete Manuscript Report different from any other manuscript critique is the consensus our editor is to gather from three full sets of feedback as she curates your report and provides actionable suggestions for revision. Trends become much clearer when three independent unbiased readers agree. To see a sample report and learn more about The Spun Yarn, check out our website and author testimonials.

I’ve always planned on getting a critique from The Spun Yarn. It’s apart of my write edit publish plan lol. Would love to win, but either way, I intend on using their services at some point. It’s such a marvelous value, getting feedback from three readers & not just one!
An excellent opportunity to see what’s working and what’s not before you query or publish.
As a first-time novelist, I could use this help.
Sounds like a great deal.
This would be a tremendous resource to win 🙂

I love the Writer’s Advent Calendar. You are amazing, Becca and Angela. Thank you for putting together this fun activity. I would love a Spun Yarn manuscript review.

May I ask something of you? Would you point out when a tool or service it’s for Spanish too? There are a lot of resources that it’s indifferent if they’re in English or not, like articles and books (I love your blog and thesaurus 🙂 ), but when it comes to editing tools or reading services the languages available are key. Or if they cater internationally.
Hi! We don’t always know if a service caters to different languages, but if we post about one and we do know that information, we’ll be sure to share it.
Thank you.
Much better than chocolate!
Thank you for the opportunity!
This sounds amazing! Also I love your advent calendar for writers; thank you!
This is just what my ms finally being birthed will need in a few weeks (I hope)
Thanks for the opportunity!

Spun Yarn is new to me, but I like the idea.
This is a great idea!
Yes please. Pretty please. I’m writing a paranormal cozy but not the std version and I would love to know if it still meets reader expectations!!
Another amazing prize. Entered every day last year but I wasn’t lucky… hope I am this year! Some amazing things up for grabs. Thanks for organising again.
Wow, that would be amazing!
Having an unbiased opinion from an educated source seems like an excellent way to have your manuscript tested prior to publishing!
I’ve used the spun yarn before. Valuable information!
This is an awesome prize!
Great calendar and raffle!
Do the prizes have expiry dates or can you claim the sessions and edits at any point in the near future?
I hadn’t heard of this service before. Sounds like it would be tremendously helpful.
