HOW CASOVER WORKS

Three services. Start where your book is now.

Manuscript feedback, launch preparation or market development for a book already on sale. Each service is a fixed price, a written scope and a delivery date. AI does the reading; Steve Castledine does the judging and signs every report. You receive reports and material ready to use, and you carry them out.
ONE SERVICE AT A TIME

From your enquiry to your completed reports.

01

Tell us where the book stands

Tell us about your book, its readers and your next goal. We will confirm which service fits.
02

Agree the scope

You receive the deliverables, exclusions, price, payment terms and delivery date in writing. Nothing is charged and no work starts until you have accepted it.
03

Provide the material

Send the manuscript, book information and any relevant listing or performance data requested for your service.
04

Steve does the work

AI reads and analyses the material. Steve Castledine directs that work, checks the findings against the text, decides what matters and writes the reports, which he signs. How the AI is used is explained before you commission anything.
05

Open your reports and plans

PDFs that are yours to keep and a private Notion workspace you can use for 90 days. Questions about the reports are welcome whenever they come.
06

Decide what happens next

Use the recommendations, revise your plans or pause. There is no obligation to buy another service.

DELIVERY AND SUPPORT

What comes with your service.

New work is new work: a revised manuscript is covered by the £145 Follow-Up Revision Review, and anything else is quoted separately
Every report signed by Steve Castledine
AUTHOR CONTROL

You remain the publisher.

You keep your rights, files, accounts and royalties. You decide what to use, what to publish and what to spend, and you make the changes in your own accounts. Casover does not operate your KDP account, run adverts or spend money on your behalf. If you want help with implementation, ask, and it is quoted separately in writing.
No one can guarantee sales, rankings or reviews, and we do not try. Every recommendation comes with the evidence behind it.
