What we do. What you do. And what costs extra.

What LemonPress does

LemonPress provides a comprehensive, AI-assisted editorial assessment of your manuscript, examining its structure, pacing, consistency, clarity, and overall effectiveness. We identify strengths, flag potential weaknesses, and provide specific editorial recommendations, explaining what deserves attention, why it matters, and where improvements could make the greatest difference.

Beyond the editorial review, we help you navigate the publishing process with clear explanations, practical resources, and step-by-step guidance. You'll understand your options, what each stage involves, and how to move forward with greater confidence. The publishing and launch services available depend on your package.

What you'll handle

You'll review the editorial recommendations and decide which changes best serve your manuscript. LemonPress helps you understand the reasoning behind those recommendations so you're making informed decisions, rather than simply following instructions.

As you move toward publication, we'll explain the requirements, walk you through your options, and help you understand what needs to happen next. You'll remain responsible for final approvals, your retailer accounts, and carrying out your marketing activities, with guidance and resources appropriate to your package.

What might cost extra

Some books require additional services, such as professional cover design, purchased ISBNs, printed proof copies, or paid marketing. LemonPress helps you understand which services you may need, what they involve, and whether you can handle them yourself or prefer to hire a professional. Any outside expenses remain your choice.

What LemonPress doesn't do

LemonPress provides AI-assisted editorial analysis, not human editing. We don't rewrite your manuscript, design your cover, manage your retailer accounts, or run marketing campaigns on your behalf. You retain ownership of your work, your publishing decisions, and your royalties.
