Why We Built This

Getting feedback shouldn't be harder than writing the book

If you've finished a first draft, you already know this loop:

1
Begging for beta readers
Posting in Facebook groups, asking friends, promising to return the favor… and hearing "it's nice!" three weeks later — if they finish at all.
2
Chasing an editor
Emailing strangers and waiting days just for someone to read your synopsis and say whether they'll even take the project.
3
Waiting for a slot
The good editors are booked out for weeks or months. Your book sits in a queue while your momentum fades.
4
Paying $1,000+ up front
Professional editing quotes start around four figures — a serious bet on a first book that hasn't earned a cent yet.
5
A month of silence
Then a wall of notes lands in your inbox with no priorities — and you're left guessing what to fix first.
6
Rounds 2… 3… 5
You realize the whole loop repeats with every revision. Somewhere around here, most first books quietly die.
The EditRoast way

Upload today — get a prioritized revision roadmap and line-level proofreading notes within 48 hours, at a fixed price you see before paying. No queues, no chasing, no guessing what to do next.

NP

"I lived every step of that loop with my first memoir — beta readers who vanished, editors who took two weeks to answer one email, and revision rounds that nearly killed the book before it was born. EditRoast grew out of that experience. It's the service I wish I'd had from day one: honest, structured feedback in two days and a clear list of what to do next."

What You Receive

Two reports + a gift. Every review.

Editorial Feedback Report
A detailed manuscript review focused on the reader experience — what works, what doesn't, and what to fix first.
  • First chapter analysis
  • Pacing review
  • Character consistency
  • Dialogue quality
  • Plot clarity & readability
  • Strongest & weakest sections
  • Actionable improvement notes
Proofreading Notes
A prioritized list of corrections — each one pinned to its exact spot in the manuscript (chapter, paragraph, phrase), with a comment on what to fix, why it matters, and how urgent it is.
  • Grammar issues
  • Spelling mistakes
  • Punctuation problems
  • Formatting inconsistencies
  • Awkward phrasing
  • Priority & reason for every fix
🎁 Free bonus — included with every order
Ready-to-use Synopsis
A professionally written one-page synopsis of your book — the document beta readers, marketplaces, agents and reviewers keep asking for, and the one most first-time authors dread writing. It arrives together with your reports, ready to paste into your KDP description, query letter, or back cover.
🌍
Your report arrives in the language of your manuscript
We review manuscripts natively in English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Czech, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish — and other European, Slavic and Turkic languages. Writing in a different language? Ask us first — chances are we cover it too.

Authors preparing to publish

When you receive your Editorial Review and Proofreading Notes, you won't just know what's wrong — you'll know exactly what to do next.

Most authors spend months writing a book, then hit a wall: they're too close to the manuscript to see its problems clearly, and professional editing quotes run $1,000 or more. Our review gives you something different — a clear, prioritized breakdown of what's holding your manuscript back, paired with a proofreading list that pins every fix to its exact spot — chapter, paragraph, phrase — with the reason and priority attached. Together, they function as a complete revision roadmap: you'll know which chapters need restructuring, where your pacing stalls, which scenes earn reader trust and which lose it, and exactly where surface errors are undermining your credibility. By the time you close those two documents, you have everything you need to revise with confidence and prepare your manuscript for upload to KDP, IngramSpark, Draft2Digital, or any other self-publishing platform — without guessing, without paying for a second opinion, and without dreading the first review.

Fiction, memoir, non-fiction, personal development, and narrative works. If your genre isn't listed, reach out before uploading and we'll confirm.
How long does it take?
Most reports are delivered within 24–48 hours of completed payment. You'll receive an email confirmation with your expected delivery window.
Will you rewrite my manuscript?
No. We provide editorial feedback and proofreading notes — the writing stays yours. Our role is to identify what to fix, not to rewrite it.
Do you provide developmental editing?
This service focuses on manuscript critique and proofreading recommendations — not developmental editing. It's designed to give you actionable insight before deciding on next steps.
Is my manuscript kept confidential?
Yes. Your manuscript is never sold, published, or shared with any third party for their own purposes. Our review is prepared using AI-assisted editorial tools; those tools process your content under strict data-processing agreements and are prohibited from using it for training or any other independent purpose. Your work remains yours.
