Thank you for submitting your manuscript to dpInk. We appreciate the ability to review and evaluate Author | Writer | Business (“Authority”) books (“Works”) under consideration.

At dpInk, we “read and review” Works for free. We ask for 45-day exclusivity for reader scheduling and opinions. Where the Work is “print ready,” meaning we can market “as is,” dpInk responds via a pass | fail method.

If Authority Work is not “print ready” (e.g., requires copyedit, editor review, copywrite, or technical communication services) and dpInk believes story, narration, plot, and | or characterization of creative or technical non-fiction demonstrates promise or meets current requirement - dpInk may provide quality improvement suggestions.
dpInk forwards an Authority Agreement to pass Works and normally will not for fail Works; however, dpInk may extend a referral to improve quality to “other” industry professionals for follow-on Work development.

dpInk “can” provide book doctoring services (e.g., editing, rewrite, etc.); however, dpInk does not solicit for book doctoring services. A price list is provided with recommendations along with “other” industry websites. IF Authority desires dpInk to perform book doctoring, Authority must request these services - editing, ghostwriting, rewrites, etc. are performed “at cost” and are not part of the Agent – Publisher percentages when represented by dpInk.

dpInk’s intent is not to “charge” clients for additional services if at all avoidable, but where requested dpInk does deliver high-level expertise in fulfillment of book doctoring services.Represents:
