Definitely. Many writers use the ReaderFeedback Report during the drafting or revision process. It can save you hours of rewriting by helping you align with reader expectations early.

This report is ideal for:

• The author who wants to ensure their message connects with readers.

• First-time authors seeking market clarity.

• Experienced writers developing new concepts.

• Indie authors trying to stand out.

• Traditional authors aiming to sharpen their proposals.

Whether you’re brainstorming, revising, or preparing to pitch, this report provides a creative and strategic edge.

The investment is $299, a one-time fee that reflects roughly $1 for every hour you’ll spend writing your book. Compared to the cost of missed opportunities or extensive rewrites, it’s a smart upfront investment.

Not at all. Authors often report the opposite: having clarity about reader expectations fuels their creativity and helps them write with more confidence — not less.

No. You’re the author. The report offers insight, not instruction. Use what’s helpful and aligns with your vision.

We work with vetted readers who are active, engaged consumers of your genre. These are people who frequently read, review, and purchase books like yours — not random respondents.

Because you will receive the knowledge of what readers loved, what they didn’t like, and what they wanted more of in successful books like yours, while you are still writing yours. A ReaderFeedback Report is the winning advantage for every author who wants to write a book that truly connects with readers.

The ReaderFeedback™ Report uses a mixed-methods approach—both qualitative and quantitative—to give you a complete picture of what readers value (and what they don’t) in books similar to yours.

Qualitative Analysis

We examine actual reader reviews to identify recurring themes—such as praise for strong characters or frustration with predictable endings. This interpretive layer captures nuance, tone, and emotional insight that raw numbers alone can’t provide.

Quantitative Analysis

We also measure and quantify these patterns. For example, we track how often certain strengths or weaknesses appear, identify percentages across themes, and apply sentiment metrics. These numbers reveal clear trends, showing where readers strongly agree in their opinions.

Why Both Matter

Qualitative insights provide depth and context; quantitative data shows scope and scale. Together, they deliver a balanced, evidence-based report that helps you see not only what readers think, but also how many share that view. The result: actionable clarity to guide your writing with confidence.

No. The core opinions come from real readers who have written reviews of books in your category. We use AI to collect, structure, and summarize those human reviews. Then industry experts review the outputs, verify claims against the evidence, and form the final takeaways so they’re practical and trustworthy.

Q: What exactly does AI do—and what do humans do?

A: AI handles: finding relevant reviews, removing duplicates, extracting themes (likes/dislikes/expectations), clustering patterns, and generating draft charts/summaries.

Humans (industry experts) handle: substantiating that themes match the evidence, adding editorial judgment, naming/organizing the insights, and highlighting actionable recommendations for your manuscript or proposal.

Q: How do you make sure the data is reliable (and not spammy)?

A: With our proprietary quality screening process, we remove obvious spam/duplicates, require minimum text length, and balance across titles/timeframes where possible. We also check for consistency across multiple sources and flag fragile findings. Finally, experts review every claim against the underlying evidence before the report ships. In short, our exclusive process gives you the most trustworthy, actionable insights that are both statistically significant and publishing expert verified.

Q: Is this the same as a fully AI-generated report?

A: No. Fully AI-generated reports can sound confident but often rely on predictions or generic patterns, and without expert oversight can result in erroneous data and false correlations. Our reports are grounded in real reader text, organized by AI, and validated by publishing experts.

We stand by the value of our insights. If you have questions or concerns, our team is available to help you get the most out of your report.
