Our Commitment to Writers

I founded The Write Match because it’s the service I wish had existed when I was submitting my first novel manuscript—it would have saved me countless hours of frustration and uncertainty. I spent tremendous time scouring online lists of publishers, tailoring query letters, and facing repeated rejection until finally finding a press that understood my work. Having gone through that gauntlet, I knew there had to be a smarter, more effective approach to matching manuscripts with publishers, but I couldn't find anything—so I created it.

Through attending writers' conferences, I learned that publishers, editors, and agents often factor in author demographics during their decision-making, rather than focusing purely on a manuscript's inherent quality. Many writers depend entirely on the strength of their manuscript to secure a publishing deal. At The Write Match, our primary focus is connecting each manuscript—regardless of genre or personal background—to the publisher where it has the greatest possibility of success, free from subjective bias. Our goal is to ensure every manuscript finds its ideal publishing home.
