Dear aspiring author,

If you've been sending out your manuscript to publishers and not hearing back, you're not alone.

At EK Books and Exisle Publishing, we receive so many submissions that we can only respond to less than 0.5% of the writers who reach out to us. 

Often, it's not major flaws holding writers back, but small details that catch a publisher's eye.

Our limited-time "Focus, Assess, Recharge" services makes our publishers accessible to aspiring authors so you can fix those problems and advance toward publication.

Book your assessment with the buttons below and send in your children's or non-fiction manuscript straight to one of our most senior publishers. In 7-21 days, you will receive a candid one-page assessment to guide your manuscript toward success.
