A Reader's Letter
$49 USD / $75 AUD — one-time, after your outline is locked

Once you have a locked outline, at least 15 replies on file, and 45 days of writing behind you, Atlas writes you a long letter about the work. Eight sections: what it’s about, what your voice does, where the themes run, which form fits, which published books share this territory, what’s present and what’s thin, who it’s for, and where to go next.

Every observation cites a line you wrote. The editorial letter others charge $1,500 for, in the shape memoir actually needs.

  • —Every claim cited from your own writing
  • —Comp titles verified against Open Library
  • —Atlas voice — specific, not generic
  • —PDF download, private web link

Available once you reach the eligibility floor. Start writing to get there.
