Knowledge Is Power
Manuscript Analysis Service
Designed to Provide Authors with Comprehensive, Actionable Feedback on Their Manuscripts
Tactical 16 Publishing’s Manuscript Analysis Service revolutionizes the way publishers and authors evaluate manuscripts. By leveraging cutting-edge natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, our system goes beyond simple grammar and spell checking. It delves into the narrative structure, identifying plot holes, inconsistencies in character development, pacing issues, and even potential areas where the story might lose reader engagement. Furthermore, it analyzes the manuscript’s style, comparing it to successful works in the same genre to provide insights into its market potential and target audience. The service also assesses the manuscript’s originality, flagging potential instances of unintentional similarity to existing works, ensuring ethical and legal compliance.
This comprehensive analysis provides actionable feedback, presented in a clear and concise report, empowering authors to refine their work. The report includes specific examples from the text to illustrate the services’ findings, allowing for a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the manuscript. Our service significantly reduces the time and effort required for manuscript evaluation, allowing Tactical 16 to focus on acquiring the best content and our authors to polish their work to perfection. Ultimately, our Manuscript Analysis Service aims to improve the quality of published works and increase the chances of success for both Tactical 16 and our authors.

QC Edit Service
Designed to Help Improve the Readability, Pace, and Flow of Your Story
Tactical 16 QC Edit Service
Editing is one of the most essential elements to your success as an author. Our QC Edit Service encompasses a range of tasks, from correcting grammatical errors and improving clarity to enhancing the overall structure, flow, and impact of the manuscript. Editors meticulously review the text, ensuring consistency in style, tone, and terminology, while also providing valuable feedback on content, organization, and argumentation. This service is particularly beneficial for authors who are looking to improve the readability, pace, and flow of the story, as it will help you correct issues you may not even be aware of as the story’s creator.
One of our editors will review your manuscript for the following points:
-
- Identify Spelling and Grammatical Errors
- Basic Formatting Errors
- General Flow of the Manuscript
You will receive an executive summary with edits to your manuscript in “Track Changes” in a standard Word document, along with notes for improvement on each of the above points. Our service ultimately results in a refined, polished piece of writing that is ready for the world to see.
The QC Edit is not a full edit; it requires 10 – 15K words or approximately 1/3 of your manuscript and a general book description.
Your QC Edit executive summary is returned within 30 days, ensuring that you can proceed with your writing journey as soon as possible.
Our tools are designed to provide you with candid, yet constructive feedback. We won’t just tell you what’s wrong, but also how to make it right. Our aim is not to dispense false praise or overwhelm you with suggestions, but to create an environment where you can feel at ease and open to improvement.
Both tools are the most commonly requested by authors seeking guidance on how to improve their stories or who need just a little push to get past a difficult portion of the story and make it sound right. They are a combination of technology and real people who will actually read and analyze your story for points of improvement. This personal touch is designed to help you reach your goals for getting your book polished, published and printed.
We understand the importance of time in the creative process, which is why we guarantee a 20-day turnaround. This ensures that you receive comprehensive, actionable and cost-effective feedback in a timely manner, allowing you to focus on your writing without unnecessary delays.
