In authors' own words

What authors said after reading their report

After three beta readers, four different types of editing software and a costly developmental edit, your report had new, actionable information on each chapter.

The report was very thorough and insightful, and honestly much better than I expected.

As a self-publisher, I ran each paragraph through ChatGPT (I couldn't and won't pay 1000s to have my manuscript stripped of my voice, cadence, etc.), however, the service you offered was more broad and thematic (which is what I was looking for).

Your manuscript stays private

Your manuscript is your intellectual property. Here's how we protect it.

Secure processing

Every connection your manuscript travels over is encrypted with TLS, and every service that stores it encrypts its disks. No one at Manuscript AI reads it unless a run fails or you ask us to.

No AI training

Your manuscript is never used to train AI. Your manuscript is analysed by our own models, hosted on AWS in the United States and trained only on public data, and by models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google through paid APIs whose terms bar them from training on it. It is never used to train AI. We don't train any models of our own.

Automatic deletion

Your uploaded manuscript file is deleted automatically within 48 hours of your report being delivered, or within 48 hours of upload if you don't check out. We don't keep a copy of your manuscript text. Your report stays at your private link until you ask us to delete it.

Never sold or shared for marketing
We never sell your manuscript or share it with advertisers. The few services that process it on our behalf are listed on our page about how we keep your book safe.
Secure payment processing
Payments go through certified, PCI DSS-compliant gateways. We never store your card details.
Your rights stay yours
We claim no ownership of, or rights to, your manuscript.
Your report is yours to keep
It's emailed to you as a PDF and stays at your private link until you ask us to delete it.

Your manuscript is processed only to write your report, and the uploaded file is deleted within 48 hours of delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only do non-fiction books?

Yes, Manuscript AI is built using insights drawn from a combined 15 years of non-fiction editorial work by editors who have worked at major publishing houses, ensuring our analysis understands the unique needs of non-fiction authors.

What types of non-fiction books does Manuscript AI support?

Manuscript AI supports a wide range of non-fiction genres, including but not limited to self-help, business, memoirs, biographies, educational, and research-based books.

How does the manuscript evaluation process work?

Our manuscript evaluation process combines advanced algorithms with editorial insights from a combined 15 years of non-fiction editorial work by editors who have worked at major publishing houses. You simply upload your manuscript, and our tool carefully analyzes various aspects such as structure, logical flow, clarity, argument strength, and more.

Will the recommendations provided be specific to my book?

Yes, absolutely! Our recommendations are personalized and tailored to your specific manuscript. We take into account your unique writing style, genre, and goals, providing you with actionable steps to enhance your book and align with your vision.

How long does it take to receive the manuscript evaluation and recommendations?

You will receive the complete evaluation by email, usually in under 10 minutes, guaranteed within 2 hours.

How is this different from hiring an editor?

Our AI review costs a fraction of traditional editing ($19 vs $2,000+ for a developmental editor), delivers results in 2 hours or less instead of weeks, and gives you objective, data-driven insights on structure, argumentation, and flow. It complements rather than replaces human editing—many authors use our report before or after working with an editor to get the most value.

Is my manuscript safe?

Yes. Your manuscript is encrypted in transit and at rest, and no one at Manuscript AI reads it unless a run fails or you ask us to. Your manuscript is analysed by our own models, hosted on AWS in the United States and trained only on public data, and by models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google through paid APIs whose terms bar them from training on it. It is never used to train AI. Your uploaded manuscript file is deleted automatically within 48 hours of your report being delivered, or within 48 hours of upload if you don't check out. We don't keep a copy of your manuscript text. Your report stays at your private link until you ask us to delete it. We never sell your manuscript or share it with advertisers. Our page on how we keep your book safe lists every kind of service that handles it.
