FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How are reviews produced?
We read your full manuscript carefully and write a thorough review covering character, plot, pacing, and craft. Every point is tied to a specific passage in your text. Before delivery, each review gets a final quality check for accuracy, tone, and fairness.
How long does it take?
Your review is delivered within 14 days of purchase. From the moment you pay, the clock is running. During periods of high demand, turnaround may be longer. We will notify you if your review will take more than 14 days.
What formats do you accept?
DOCX, PDF, TXT, and EPUB. If your manuscript is in another format, ask us and we will usually find a way.
How long can my manuscript be?
Up to 100,000 words per order. Longer manuscripts can be split across multiple orders.
Will you just tell me my book is great?
No. We will tell you what is working and what is not, with specific passages quoted from your text. If your book is strong, the review will show why. If it needs work, you will know exactly where.
Is my manuscript kept private?
Yes. Your manuscript is used only to produce your review. It is never shared, published, or sold. We will only mention your book publicly (for example, in a short blog blurb) with your explicit permission, and we anonymize by default.
What do I get, exactly?
A written review delivered as PDF and DOCX, covering characters, plot and structure, pacing, continuity, theme and style, plus a prioritized list of the fixes that would help most.
What is your refund policy?
If we cannot review your manuscript for any reason, you receive a full refund. If you are unhappy with the review itself, contact us and we will make it right.
Do you review poetry or academic papers?
Not yet. We currently review fiction and narrative nonfiction. Poetry collections and academic papers with peer-review style feedback are coming soon.
