In authors' own words

What authors said after reading their report

The cost of having a human being provide any sort of feedback is prohibitive.

The recommendations I received from Manuscript were very good, and I adopted some of them.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the analysis.

How accurate is the AI analysis compared to human editors?

Our AI is built using insights from a combined 15 years of non-fiction editorial work by editors who have worked at major publishing houses and provides analysis that rivals professional editors. While it can't replace the personal touch of a human editor, it catches structural issues, logical gaps, and argumentation problems that many authors miss. Most authors find our analysis more comprehensive and objective than traditional editing.

What file formats do you accept?

We accept Word documents (.docx) up to 16 MB. If your manuscript is a PDF or a Google Doc, export it to .docx first — Word preserves your chapter structure, which keeps the analysis accurate.

How long does the analysis take?

You'll receive your complete analysis report by email, usually in under 10 minutes, guaranteed within 2 hours.

Is my manuscript kept confidential?

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. You keep every right to your work. Our page on how we keep your book safe lists every kind of service that handles it.

What if I'm not satisfied with the analysis?

We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, contact us within 14 days of delivery for a full refund.

Can I ask specific questions about my manuscript?

Yes! During the upload process, you can include specific questions or concerns about your manuscript, such as: 'Is my central argument in Chapter 3 convincing?', 'Are my evidence sources properly integrated?', or 'Does my introduction clearly present my thesis?'. Our AI will address these directly in your analysis report, providing targeted insights for your particular needs.

Do you only analyze non-fiction books?

Yes, our AI is specifically trained on non-fiction manuscripts including self-help, business, memoirs, biographies, religious and spiritual books, educational content, and research-based books. We don't currently support fiction analysis.

How detailed is the analysis report?

Your report is typically 15–25 pages and includes: executive summary, chapter-by-chapter breakdown, readability scores, structural analysis, visual comparisons, logical argumentation check, content flow analysis, and specific recommendations for improvement.

Can I use this analysis for multiple revisions?

Yes! Your analysis report is yours to keep forever. You can refer to it throughout your revision process and even use it for future manuscripts. There are no limitations on how you use your report.

What's the difference between this and hiring a professional editor?

Our AI analysis costs $19 vs $2,000+ for professional editing, delivers results in 2 hours or less vs weeks, and provides objective, data-driven insights without personal bias. While it can't replace human creativity, it catches technical issues that many authors miss and provides comprehensive structural analysis.

What is a manuscript review service?

A manuscript review service gives detailed feedback on your book's structure, content flow, clarity, readability, and overall quality before publication. Rather than focusing on surface-level corrections, it helps improve the manuscript from a reader's perspective by identifying areas that can strengthen the overall reading experience.

Why should I get my manuscript reviewed before publishing?

A manuscript review is valuable for every author, not just first-time writers. Even seasoned authors have their books reviewed regularly to gain objective feedback, identify areas for improvement, and ensure their manuscript delivers the best possible experience for readers before publication.

What is the difference between manuscript review and proofreading?

A manuscript review evaluates the overall quality of your book, including structure, pacing, organization, and content effectiveness. Proofreading is the final stage of editing that focuses on correcting grammar, spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors.

How much does a professional manuscript review cost?

Manuscript AI charges one flat price of $19 (₹3,999 for buyers in India), whatever the length or genre of your manuscript, with a 14-day money-back guarantee.

How do I know if my manuscript is ready for publishing?

If you've completed your draft but are unsure about its clarity, structure, or reader experience, a manuscript review is the best next step. Professional feedback helps identify improvements before submitting or self-publishing your book.

Is manuscript review suitable for first-time authors?

Yes. First-time authors benefit greatly from manuscript reviews because they receive expert guidance on content organization, writing quality, reader engagement, and publishing readiness before investing in editing or publishing.

How can I submit my manuscript for review?

Submitting your manuscript is simple. Upload your manuscript, complete the form with a few details about your book, and ask the AI reviewer any questions you'd like answered. There is no limit to the number of questions you can ask, so feel free to include everything you've been wondering about. Once you're done, click Submit, and your manuscript will be sent for review.
