Hey Mitali! Love this blog--one of my favorites.
In case it helps, I offer a hearty list of pro critiquers on my site:

Summer Dawn Laurie, formerly at Tricycle! I don't think she has a website but she is wonderful, particularly for PB & MG. I can give her contact info offline, or she's on JacketFlap and facebook.
How do you get to BE one of those editors? That is my dream job, but I'm not going to move to work for a big pub house first. *sigh*
Continuing the shameless self-promotion I started on Facebook, I also offer manuscript critiquing services. That said, I can also give a ringing endorsement to Summer who is great. My website is www.lauraatkins.com
Laura, of course! Glad to hear you'll consider work from this side of the Atlantic.
I am a former Harlequin editor and published (Penguin/Berkley) young adult novelist. You can find my critique service information at www.bevkatzrosenbaum.com.
