Learn how Bookscout.AI works with our step-by-step guide

For Publishers

While we acknowledge that a good eye for literature is irreplaceable, it doesn’t hurt to have a little help from technology. Bookscout.AI uses artificial intelligence to analyse works uploaded to our system, and matches them to profiles of publishers worldwide.

Manuscript Marketplace

A place where you can exchange publishing proposals in various markets; search for books by subject, category, or market potential.

Quick and easy selection of publishing proposals submitted by authors

You will receive notifications on publishing proposals sent to you, and information on how well they match your publishing profile. At a glance, you’ll be able to assess whether it’s worth digging into the content (it may always be worth it, but there may not always be time for it).

Market potential and book map

Algorithms determine the market potential of a manuscript through the analysis of market data. You will receive a content analysis report for each manuscript.

    Can BookScout.ai analyse manuscripts sent to me by authors, and select the most promising ones?

    Yes. Authors can submit manuscripts to you through a unique from generated exclusively for you. All you need to do is publish a link to that from on your website along with information for authors to direct all submissions through this channel. This way, the manuscripts ar simultaneously sent both to you and to our servers, where they are analyzed. Our application provides you free access to all files and information provided to you be authors. To each submission we add information on how well it matches your publishing criteria, and help you conveniently filter, sort, view and categorize manuscripts. We also notify you via mail whenever we identify a particulary promising manuscript.

    Can BookScout.ai analyse the contents of manuscripts or books from my archive?

    Yes. All you have to do is provide us with files containing the content you want to analyze. Our system processes files in TXT, DOC, DOCX, EPUB or possibly PDF format.

    How is the content that I submit to BookScout.ai for analysis secured?

    Files containing the content of manuscripts or already published books are downloaded via a private password-protected cloud. In addition, each file is protected by a password and a watermark identifying BookScout.ai. The files are stored on a secure server, accessed by only 3 people: the administrator and data science programmers. The server works in the internal network and is accessible only through the edge server.

    Which languages are supported by the Bookscout analysis tool?

    The algorithms analyze long texts in English and Polish. Estimating the market potential, matching the work to the publisher’s profile and to other books works independently of the language – it is done through the analysis of market data and metadata.
