Joining a local writing group will be an excellent place to start as existing members’ opinions are just as valid as any ‘expert’ point of view.
But before an author lays himself open to a critique, I would advise all writers to place their manuscript in a drawer and not return to it for several weeks. That self-imposed separation will enable the author to see for himself mistakes in plot, structure, grammar, punctuation and spelling before anybody else.
