How this is different from a chatbot

🎓

Specialised, not general

Four AI editors trained for specific craft dimensions — one for structure, one for voice, one for technical quality, one for market positioning. Not one chatbot asked to do everything.

👤

Human oversight on every report

A Senior Editor reviews all AI output, removes false positives, adds contextual insight, and writes the consolidated report. A chatbot has no such check.

📖

21 genre experts

Your manuscript is assessed against the specific conventions, reader expectations, and market positioning of your genre — not generic writing advice.

Your manuscript stays private

Your manuscript is processed securely and deleted after your report is generated. It is never stored, shared, or used to train any AI model. Your creative work remains entirely yours.

Frequently asked questions

What genres do you accept for manuscript review?

All genres — fiction, non-fiction, memoir, children's books, young adult, poetry, scripts, and business books. Each genre gets a tailored editorial panel matched to its conventions.

What format do I need to submit my manuscript in?

Word document (.docx) is preferred. PDF is also accepted. Files up to 50MB. For best results, use .docx with standard formatting.

Is AI manuscript review a substitute for professional human editing?

No — it's a complement to it. The AI review helps you understand where your manuscript stands and what to prioritise before committing to production-level editing. Most authors use the review to decide whether to revise further or proceed to publication.

What if I disagree with the AI assessment?

Every review includes one resubmission credit — revise your manuscript based on the feedback and resubmit for an updated assessment. If you have specific concerns, contact us directly at publishing@wildheartshq.com.

What happens to my manuscript after review?

Your manuscript is processed securely and deleted after your report is generated. It is never stored, shared, or used to train AI models. Your creative work remains entirely private.

How is this different from using ChatGPT to review my manuscript?

Wild Hearts uses four specialised AI editors configured for distinct craft dimensions — not one general-purpose chatbot. Each editor has been trained on its specific task. A human Senior Editor then reviews all output, removes false positives, and writes the consolidated report. The result is more reliable, more specific, and more actionable than a generic chatbot response.
