Submit Your Manuscript

Submit your existing manuscript for consideration. Following an initial review, if we both agree to proceed, we offer a comprehensive, professional manuscript evaluation for $895. This 20-page review includes a content and structural analysis of your manuscript and additional expert insights from our publishing team. We’ll evaluate the state of your manuscript, provide insights on tone, formatting, and recommendations for next steps. While you independently leverage this assessment or take it to any editorial team or publisher, the investment of $895 can be credited toward any future publishing agreement with Advantage Media Group and Advantage Books.
