While each one is personalized to the author, every evaluation covers key areas like audience, trends, platform, cover appeal, and global licensing potential. Below is a sample passage we created to illustrate the tone and level of detail you’ll receive.

“Your book has clear strengths in theme and readability, and the genre remains appealing across several markets. To increase licensing potential, we recommend clarifying the core audience in your pitch and refining the cover design to better reflect current trends. With these adjustments, the book would present more competitively to international editors.”
