Critic.co.uk review services
Commission independent editorial coverage for your book or screen production. You pay for the time and work involved in a proper review; the opinion is never for sale.
Each commission is quoted for its length, format and coverage. No fee is charged at enquiry stage.
A considered editorial assessment of your book, with a clear verdict and the reasoning behind it.
An independent assessment of your screen production, from a short film to a feature or agreed series coverage.
Share the title, format, release plans and a link. Authors, creators and their representatives are welcome.
We assess the fit, then agree a fee, deliverables and timing before you pay or supply a full review copy.
The review is prepared and published on Critic.co.uk with a clear commissioning disclosure. The fee has no bearing on the rating.
We agree the reading or viewing scope, written or video format, publication plan, fee and delivery window before the commission starts. A series review will state which episodes were assessed.
Every commissioned review is labelled. You can flag factual errors, but commissioning does not give you approval over the opinion, rating or wording. Publication expectations are agreed upfront.
Request a quote with the format, word count or runtime, and your target date. We agree the price and exact deliverables before any payment. Books and productions of different lengths require different amounts of work.
No. We can accept a commission and deliver the agreed assessment, but we never promise a positive verdict or a minimum star rating. Please commission only if you are comfortable with a candid opinion.
The commissioned service is for editorial coverage on Critic.co.uk. It does not include paid customer reviews on retail or reader platforms, or a guaranteed number of reader ratings.
Yes. Include your planned publication or release date and any embargo. Please send an information page or trailer first. Full review copies, screeners and secure access are arranged after acceptance.
Yes. We welcome enquiries from the creator or an authorised representative. For multiple titles, describe the slate and the timing so we can agree an appropriate scope.
An attributed excerpt is part of the agreed service. Quotations must reproduce the review accurately and fairly represent its meaning. Any use of the Critic.co.uk branding or video is agreed separately.
Tell us what you’ve made. We’ll assess whether it’s a fit.
