Are Manuscript Analysis and Virtual Beta Reader included in paid subscriptions?

Manuscript Analysis and Virtual Beta Reader are specialized tools designed to provide on-demand, in-depth feedback on full manuscripts of up to 300,000 words.

Because of the advanced processing they require, both are offered as add-ons rather than being included in our subscription plans. This ensures that every writer, regardless of their plan, has access to expert-level feedback without increasing subscription costs.

Manuscript Analysis provides instant feedback on your writing as well as guidance whenever you need it. Virtual Beta Reader allows you to see your story through the eyes of your reader, focusing on their reading experience, their emotions, and engagement throughout the story.

All users can purchase Manuscript Analysis Credits for these tools in bundles of 1, 3, or 10. Manuscript Analysis Credits can be used with Manuscript Analysis and Virtual Beta Reader.

Users with paid licenses receive special discounts on our standard rates.

Manuscript Analysis Credits are nonrefundable, but they don’t expire. You can purchase a bundle and use your credits when you prefer.

Why do you charge for Manuscript Analysis when some of your competitors include it in their subscriptions?

We’ve designed our Manuscript Analysis to examine your text in its entirety rather than simply running checks on condensed chapter summaries, which may result in a less thorough evaluation.

Instead, we use advanced models that provide in-depth insights. As a result, our Manuscript Analysis is thorough and catches a wider range of issues.

Additionally, Virtual Beta Reader provides detailed insights into how readers will experience your story as well as guidance on how to effectively position and market your book.

Because of the significant cost of these models, we charge separately for our Manuscript Analysis to maintain this higher level of service.

We have designed Manuscript Analysis to be an effective and affordable way for writers to receive truly actionable feedback that helps them refine and improve their work, maximizing the value they get from every round of feedback.
