AI-Powered Author Services — Australian Authors Welcome

Your manuscript deserves more than silence.

Professional AI manuscript review in 15 minutes. Full publishing from $149 AUD. You keep your rights, your royalties, your story.

Publishing is broken. We're not.

Query letters that disappear into silence. Vanity presses that charge thousands and take your rights. Self-publishing advice written for the US market that doesn't work in Australia.

We built Wild Hearts because we were authors who experienced all of this firsthand. There's a better way.

Fast, honest, professional — in three tiers.
