What happens after 90 days
You choose whether to continue on a paid plan. If you decide not to, your listing is simply removed from the catalog. Your book is never deleted and your account stays open, so you can come back whenever you want.
Your manuscript is used only to build your book’s fingerprint. It is never published, sold, or shown to readers, and you keep all rights to your work. Your uploaded file is deleted from our storage one week after processing finishes, once you have had time to check the results. See our Privacy Policy for how uploads are stored and processed.
No payment details required. Takes about a minute.

“I am loving the report of my manuscript. I have used your keyword strings and categories. Hoping it goes better than my choices. I wouldn't have thought of them.”

“The Book Intelligence Report was very useful, yes, and unexpected. Its Market Positioning, Ideal Reader Profile, and Platform & Distribution Fit recommendations are insightful. ... The ad concepts are valuable, but particularly helpful are the recommendations of Discovery Channels.”

“The BookSignal report helped clarify the audience for Christmas at Hickory Lantern and recognized the warmth, community, and sense of place at the heart of the book.”
