Imagine a world where every great story in the slush pile gets discovered.
A world where each submission gets reviewed. And not just reviewed–but organized, scored, and critiqued by dozens of actual readers. Where every writer gets actionable feedback to help them level up and the best of the best rise to the surface as market-ready properties. Doesn’t that sound like a thriving creative ecosystem?

That’s Ready Chapter 1. 
Writers join RC1 to polish their work till it shines in our Peer Critique Forum, level up their craft with our exclusive masterclass curriculum, and connect with publishers as they earn top Story Scores™ on their manuscripts based on real feedback from a worldwide community of readers and writers.
