Service terms.

What the audit includes

The Manuscript Audit is $449 USD for one fiction manuscript of up to 150,000 words per read. It includes an evidence report, manuscript annotations, a revision workbook, and two full reads: the initial audit and one audit of a revised version of the same work.

The free sample covers the first three chapters only. It requires no payment and cannot establish whole-book continuity. A sample request is subject to readable files and written confirmation of scope.

How the report is made

Threadright combines deterministic software and AI-assisted judgment. Quoted evidence is checked against the manuscript. Candidates that have not been individually adjudicated are identified separately and are not confirmed findings.

A human operator reviews the assembled report for quality control. This is not a human editor’s judgment on every finding. Reports provide editorial decision support; they can miss issues or contain interpretations you disagree with. They do not guarantee publication, representation, sales, or a third party’s response. They are not legal reviews of your manuscript.

Ordering, payment, and timing

Submit your intake and manuscript by email. We confirm readable files, the agreed service, and payment instructions before analysis begins. Payment for a paid audit is due in advance. No payment is taken through this website.

Standard turnaround is 72 hours from our written confirmation of a readable manuscript and completed intake. A 48-hour rush may be arranged for a 50% surcharge, subject to written acceptance. If we cannot meet a committed turnaround, we notify you and offer a full refund or continued service.

Your included second read

Request the second full read within 12 months of first delivery. It applies only to a revised version of the same work on the original order. Provide that order reference with the request. It is not a new manuscript and is not transferable to another book. Each order includes two reads in total. The second read has no separate cash value or refund value. Word count remains up to 150,000 words per read.

Working manuscripts and analysis files are deleted 30 days after delivery, or sooner on your written request. We do not keep those files for the second read. When you request it, resupply the manuscript(s) we need — the revised version of that same work, and the earlier version if you want supported findings compared. The absence of a previous finding does not by itself establish that an issue is fixed.

Your second-read entitlement remains valid for the 12-month period even though working files are not retained. See how files are handled.

Cancellation and refunds

You may cancel for a full refund before analysis begins, or a half refund after analysis begins but before delivery. Rush surcharges are non-refundable once rush work begins. Orders we decline are refunded in full.

If the report is not useful, tell us within 14 days of delivery for a full refund. You do not need to prove that a finding is defective. Contact orders@threadright.ink with your order reference.

The verified-quotation guarantee

If the report quotes a passage that does not appear in the manuscript you submitted, the report is free. Email the quotation and order reference within 14 days of delivery. Substantiated claims are refunded in full within five business days of review.

This guarantee concerns source quotation accuracy. It does not guarantee the correctness of editorial interpretations, exhaustive coverage, or an assessment of a different manuscript version. The separate satisfaction refund above remains available.

Your rights and responsibilities

You must be at least 18 and own or control the rights needed to submit your manuscript. Do not submit material you are obliged to keep confidential from the service providers used for analysis. Supply accurate contact information and keep a copy of your manuscript.

Your manuscript remains yours. After full payment, you may use your report and the accompanying files prepared for you. Threadright retains its software, methods, prompts, templates, and report formats. Submitting your work does not give us permission to publish it as a sample.

Confidentiality

We use your manuscript to provide the service, not for advertising or our own model training. The privacy policy explains the processing, the 30-day deletion of working files, and how to request earlier deletion.

Liability and disputes

Except for the express service and refund commitments above, the service is provided as is. To the extent permitted by applicable law, liability related to the service is limited to the amount paid for it, and neither party is liable for indirect or consequential losses. These terms do not exclude rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Contact us first with any concern so we can try to resolve it. Threadright is the service name; the provider’s legal details accompany your written order confirmation before payment.

Changes and contact

Changes apply prospectively. The terms confirmed for your order govern that order. Contact orders@threadright.ink for service, cancellation, or privacy requests.
