Storygate Studio™ — Creators
Prepare a Manuscript Project for Storygate
Storygate Studio is not open to all projects. Placement requires two gates: a professional manuscript package and a minimum readiness threshold.
There is no requirement to purchase RevisionGrade services to qualify. Creators may use equivalent professional materials created independently or through another service.
Gate 1
Professional Manuscript Package
Your package must be professionally formatted and submission-ready. Current Storygate scope is manuscript-first and publishing-facing.
Novels and long-form fiction
- —Query letter with a clear hook paragraph

- —Author bio
- —Sample pages or manuscript materials
- —Optional evaluation summary or readiness assessment
Memoir and supported prose projects

Gate 2
Minimum Readiness Threshold
Your manuscript project must demonstrate a minimum professional standard through one of the following:
RevisionGrade Score 8.0+
A RevisionGrade score of 8.0 or higher from a full-manuscript evaluation, not a short excerpt.
Equivalent Professional Assessment
A written assessment from a qualified publishing professional confirming the manuscript is submission-ready or professionally prepared.
Using RevisionGrade to Prepare
If you want to use RevisionGrade to build your package and meet Gate 2, the manuscript-first path is:
Evaluate
Upload the manuscript and receive the correct evaluation mode: short-form, long-form, or long-form multi-layer.
Revise
Work through the Revise Queue or use TrustedPath™ to address identified weaknesses before submission.
Agent Readiness Package™
Generate the query letter, synopsis, query pitch, comparables, and author bio.
Storygate Submission
Once the readiness threshold and package approvals are met, Storygate submission can unlock.
