Traditional feedback methods leave authors in the dark

Getting honest, actionable feedback on your manuscript shouldn't feel like guesswork.

The Old Way

  • Vague comments without specific context
  • Missing emotional context for reader reactions
  • No way to see patterns across multiple readers
  • Uncomfortable social dynamics preventing honest feedback

"I liked it! The characters were good. Maybe the middle was a bit slow?"

— Typical reader feedback

The ReaderPulse Way

  • Precise, contextual feedback tied to specific text
  • Emotional reactions captured in real-time as readers read
  • Clear patterns revealed through heatmap visualizations
  • Anonymous feedback ensuring complete honesty
