Honest pricing. Your first read is free.
A developmental edit costs a thousand to four thousand dollars and takes weeks. A written manuscript assessment runs several hundred at least. Novel Maestro gives you the same kind of deep, structural read in minutes — and your first one is free.
No credit card. No trial that expires. Just upload your book and see what it finds.
Start free. Pay only when you're ready to go deeper.

Revise freely.
A 'read' is a complete analysis of your whole book — the thing that takes a few minutes and does the deep work. Your first read is free. When you unlock a book, you get plenty more, so you can revise, re-read, and watch your problems close as many times as normal revision needs. You'll never be counting.
Everything included, side by side.
