You wrote the book. You published it. And now... silence. Most self-published books fail because of the same three mistakes. Does yours have them?
We audit the three things readers judge before they buy: your cover, title/subtitle, and book description. You get a clear PDF report with prioritized fixes.

If the book is published but nothing is happening
Invisible listing problems can make a good book look unprofessional.
Silence after launch usually does not come from one obvious mistake. It comes from small signals that make readers hesitate before they click, trust, or buy.
We look for the friction readers notice first
- An unclear or low-converting book description
- A weak title/subtitle promise or market mismatch
- A cover that loses readability, genre clarity, or polish at thumbnail size

Book audit definition
What is a self-published book audit?
A self-published book audit is a professional review of the elements readers see before they buy: cover, title, subtitle, and book description. It does not edit your manuscript. It helps you understand whether your book listing looks clear, credible, genre-appropriate, and ready for platforms such as Amazon KDP and Kobo.
Title & Subtitle Audit
We check clarity, market fit and reader expectations, and whether your title/subtitle communicates the right promise.
- Clarity and memorability
- Search-friendly structure
- Expectation alignment
Description (Blurb) Audit
We review your description for hook, structure and persuasion, and flag friction points that reduce conversions.
- Hook + first lines
- Structure and clarity
- CTA and trust signals
Built for relaunches, series, and authors who need clarity
Whether you’re publishing a new book or improving an underperforming listing, you’ll receive a structured audit designed to help you make clear, informed decisions.
- Clear evaluation of each audited element
- Priority recommendations, so you know what to address first
- Targeted improvement suggestions for titles and descriptions (when relevant)
- PDF report delivered by email
Editorial, branding, and cover expertise for self-published books
Our audits are grounded in practical experience with self-published books. We focus on editorial clarity, book branding, and cover design, the elements that shape first impressions and influence buying decisions.
- Editorial perspective on titles, subtitles, and descriptions
- Book branding expertise, including genre positioning and visual coherence
- Cover design analysis focused on readability, composition, and market expectations
Add Real Reader Feedback to your Audit
Alongside the professional audit, you can choose to include feedback from a group of real readers. Their role is to share honest impressions about how your book is perceived at first glance.
What this extra layer adds
- Feedback from a group of real readers, not automated analysis
- Focused on first impressions, clarity, and interest
- Aggregated opinions highlighting what attracts attention and what creates doubts
- Private qualitative feedback, used exclusively to improve your book’s presentation
Reader feedback is shared as contextual insight. Editorial judgment remains at the core of the audit.
Optional add-on
Real People Said
A complementary layer of insight based on opinions from real readers, designed to reveal blind spots and perception gaps before making changes.
This is not a public review or rating. Feedback is collected privately and used only as a support tool for editorial decisions.
