Helping Published Authors Navigate the Marvellous and Messy World of Publishing
Savvy Check
In an industry that sorely lacks transparency, Savvy Check aims to shed an honest and open light on the people and companies that play such a huge role in writers' careers.
​
Paid subscribers to Savvy Writers get full access to Savvy Check. But free plan subscribers can submit their experiences and responses.
​
To read the guidelines, and send in author experiences or publisher / agent responses, see the details below. To see the listings, paid members can click on the button below!
