The Agent's Read

Submissions Desk · 2026

AI-powered manuscript assessment

Submit your novel.
Get an AI agent's read.

An automated, AI-generated assessment — no human reads your manuscript. Your pages are evaluated by a large language model against the rubric working New York agents use when they read the slush pile. Instant delivery. No coddling. Just an answer to: Would an agent rep this, and would editors pay for it?

Query Submission
The more you give, the sharper the read. Sample pages matter most — voice is judged on the page.

Paste into whichever field matches what you have. The agent reads the deepest stage you provide and assesses accordingly. Only one field is needed — but more pages means a deeper read.

An AI simulation. Not a substitute for actual representation — but closer to the real thing than most beta readers. The verdict, score, deal-range estimate, and assessment are generated by an AI modeling a senior literary agent and do not guarantee that a real literary agent would render the same verdict, score, or assessment. Outcomes in the real publishing market depend on factors no model can fully account for — an individual agent's taste and current list, the editor's mood on the day, what each imprint already bought that season, and shifting category trends. Treat this as sharp, candid feedback to strengthen your submission — not as a prediction of any specific agent's response or any specific deal outcome.
