Want to Break In to Publishing? You Need a Polished Story
Break Into Publishing with ReadyChapter1 Story Scores
Today’s publishing gatekeepers get more submissions than they can read. To grab their attention, your work needs to be head and shoulders above everything else in the slush pile.
That’s the goal of Ready Chapter 1’s Peer Critique Forum–helping you craft polished, market-ready stories that make it easy for a publisher to say “Yes.” We’ve designed our platform as a safe place to give and receive fast, actionable feedback on your written work, from concept to first draft.
Publisher Connections Happen Here
As we grow our network of editors and agents, we host contests and challenges in the forums to help connect publishing gatekeepers with writers who continue to level up and produce fresh, highly-rated stories. They’re looking for undiscovered talent and RC1 wants to connect them with YOU.
Story Scores Help You Level Up
Aggregated Story Scores help you see what’s GREAT about your story and ways you can make it even better. Revise and repost to watch your scores go up and know when a scene or chapter is polished and ready. RC1 writers are using their Story Scores™ as part of their query and submission package to demonstrate that they’ve done the work and that an entire community believes in their book. And when publishers come to us looking for new stories to acquire, we go right to the scores to look for best fit manuscripts.
