Welcome to Perkins.
Please choose a path.

Perkins Craft Analysis is a custom-built manuscript analysis tool for fiction writers.

Named for legendary literary editor Maxwell Perkins, Perkins Craft Analysis provides thorough and nuanced reports on your written work.

Perkins will never tell you what to write and never retains your manuscript.

You are the writer. Every word is your own.

Perkins is in a private beta. Chances are you have been invited to participate.

What Perkins
Offers Writers

Clear Conversations About Your Work

Every Conversation produces an Editorial Letter for you to keep: something to sit with, argue with, return to, and discover something new within. Each one becomes a launchpad for the next revision.

A Continuous Editorial Relationship

Perkins doesn't forget your last draft the moment you revise it. Editorial Letters, notes, and Conversations stay with your account, allowing each new Conversation to begin where the last one ended.

Your Words Remain Yours

Perkins neither stores nor remembers your manuscript itself. What remains is the editorial relationship: your Letters, your notes, and your Conversations with Perkins, not the manuscript that inspired them.
