Before you choose an editor, before you publish — you need both insight and a plan.
For $595, you’ll receive:
A professional Manuscript Assessment
A tailored Publishing Action Plan
A Strategic Publishing Consultation (30-min private session with a lead editor)
Crafted by elite editors and supported by proprietary AI-powered manuscript analysis, this two-part service provides honest feedback and a clear, actionable strategy for your book — not just critique, but a pathway.
A manuscript assessment is a strategic evaluation of your book’s potential — not a critique for critique’s sake. It’s the first step in a professional publishing journey built on clarity, not judgment.
A seasoned editor reads your manuscript and provides expert insight based on your goals, genre, and reader expectations. Combined with a powerful AI diagnostic, you’ll receive a custom Action Plan — outlining what’s working, what could improve, and how to move forward with confidence.
You’ll also contribute to key parts of the plan, so your vision and priorities shape the publishing strategy from day one.
This isn’t a pass/fail test — it’s a clear, collaborative roadmap built to move your book forward.
Whether you’re a first-time author, a seasoned author, or crafting a bespoke book for your business or legacy — serious publishing starts with two questions:

No. You are in full control. Many authors revise and consider their options before deciding whether to move forward.
This ensures honesty. Your assessor’s only goal is to give you the best advice, not to “sell” you into the next phase.
You’ll know exactly what to do next. 92% of authors revise after this process. You can take your time and move forward when you’re ready.
Every author who completes the Assessment & Action Plan receives valuable guidance. In some cases, we may recommend further development or suggest a different publishing route. Our priority is your long-term success, not pushing you into the next step. You’ll still walk away with professional insights you can use.
