Choose the option that’s best for you:

1. Priority Submission: Get an experienced editor’s detailed critique within 7 days. Gain clarity, improve your writing skills, and boost your chances of future publication.
2. Fast Response: Your story jumps to the front of the queue, and you’ll get a response within 7 days. (Note: This does not include feedback.)

Why choose Priority Submission?

Every rejection without feedback is a missed opportunity.

As writers ourselves, we understand your frustration when editors reject stories without explanation. Publishers don’t have time to give detailed feedback to everyone—but we believe every writer deserves better.

You can’t improve without feedback and guidance.

Without experienced guidance:

• Progress will be slow and frustrating.
• You’ll repeat the same mistakes again and again.
• You’ll stay unaware of your weaknesses and develop bad habits.
• You’ll face rejection repeatedly without knowing how to improve.

Feedback from a trusted editor changes everything.

Becoming a great writer takes time, but expert feedback helps you improve rapidly by pinpointing precisely what’s holding you back.

Our editors:

• Have read and edited thousands of stories.
• Quickly spot your strengths and weaknesses.
• Offer clear, personalized suggestions on how to improve.

Here are two examples of the feedback we provide:

• Example 1
• Example 2

Try it 100% Risk-Free.

We’re so confident in our editors that if you don’t find the feedback genuinely helpful, we’ll refund your $30—and pay you an additional $30 for your trouble.

All we ask is your honesty. We still believe in handshake deals, and we trust that you do too.
