Great taste.
Terrible tools.
We fixed that.

Storywise is a submissions management platform for publishers and agents. You connect your submissions inbox, set up your taste profile (genres, themes, keywords, anything you're looking for), and we give you a dashboard where every manuscript comes with a report card: summary, comp titles, author info, taste match score, and more. Think of it as moving from your inbox to an actual workflow built for acquisitions.

No. Never. We believe editors and publishers are more than capable of deciding which books are worth publishing. We don't score quality or make editorial judgments. Our job is to match submissions to your taste profile and give you the context to make faster, more confident decisions. The editorial call is always yours.

Taste Matching is our core technology. You build a profile using genres, keywords, themes, character types, style preferences, whatever matters to you. Storywise then compares every incoming submission against that profile and prioritises the ones that fit. It's fully configurable and gets sharper the more you use it.

Manuscripts are securely stored and only accessible to Storywise and the specific publisher reviewing them. We use industry-standard encryption and strict access controls. Both authors and publishers can request deletion at any time. The creative work remains the property of the author. Always.

No. We do not use manuscripts to train generative AI models or large language models. We analyse manuscripts to match them against your preferences and to generate report cards. That's it. Your authors' intellectual property stays protected.

We do more than hand you a percentage. Storywise flags the likely parts of the writing process where AI shows up, from light polishing to a machine shaping voice or plot, and shows it in plain bands rather than one vague score, plus clear suggested next steps for you or your team. You decide what to allow, question, or escalate. We help guide you there.

You can connect your submissions inbox directly or simply forward manuscripts to your Storywise dashboard. Most publishers are up and running within a day. There's no need to overhaul your existing process. Storywise sits on top of it and makes it better.

Yes. Storywise handles agented submissions: when a manuscript comes in from an agent, the agent and agency show right on the record, so agented work is easy to spot and prioritise.

The Storywise Network is a growing community of authors who've listed their manuscripts for discovery. As a publisher, you get access to manuscripts matched to your wishlist, authors you might never have found through traditional querying channels. It's an additional discovery layer on top of your regular submissions.

Virtually none. Manuscripts are only accessible to Storywise and the designated publisher. We maintain strict data protection protocols and restricted access at every level. No unauthorised party can view manuscript content.

Pricing is flexible depending on your team size and volume. Best to book a demo and we'll walk you through the options. No pressure, no payment info required.
