We believe in editors
narratiQ was born from a simple conviction: Good books deserve to be discovered. And editors deserve tools that help them do so.
Why we built narratiQ
The idea for narratiQ emerged from conversations with editors. We kept hearing the same thing:
“We receive hundreds of manuscripts. We can't read them all.”
The problem isn't a lack of interest. It's a lack of time. And the consequence: potential bestsellers get overlooked because nobody has the capacity to discover them.
narratiQ is our answer to this problem. Not as a replacement for human judgment – but as an amplifier for it.
Your editorial team – with a digital tailwind
No replacement. No automation of the decision.
narratiQ reads every submitted manuscript and delivers thorough analyses to your team – from a quick initial assessment to a comprehensive detailed analysis, in minutes instead of days. Genre classification. Style analysis. Structural evaluation. Market potential. All at a glance, so your editors know where a closer look is worthwhile.
What we stand for
Our values guide every decision we make
People before machines
Software is a tool, not an authority. The final decision on a manuscript always belongs to a human.
Data privacy is non-negotiable
Manuscripts are confidential. Period. We host in Germany, encrypt end-to-end, and never use your data for the development of our software or the training of language models.
Honest communication
We don't promise what we can't deliver. narratiQ is good, but not perfect. And we say so.
