✅Professional Manuscript Assessment
I’ll personally read and assess your manuscript or sample chapters (3+). You’ll receive detailed feedback on:
-
Clarity & structure – Does the book flow logically from start to finish?
-
Message & purpose – Is your core message strong and clearly defined?
-
Marketability – Will this resonate with your intended audience?
-
Readiness – Are you truly ready to publish, or do you need more editing?
You’ll also get written notes highlighting strengths, areas for improvement, and whether your book is a fit for self-publishing, hybrid, or traditional publishing.
📩 You’ll receive your review within 5–7 business days.

Discuss your best publishing path: self-publishing, hybrid, or traditional
-
Explore timelines, next steps, and essential tasks before publishing
-

Hi, I’m Athena C. Shack — publisher, book coach, and founder of Watersprings Publishing.
I’ve spent the last decade helping faith-driven leaders, visionaries, and everyday storytellers publish powerful, purpose-filled books.
I’ve authored 7 books, published over 200, and helped more than 400 aspiring authors transform their ideas into manuscripts, their manuscripts into published books, and their books into impact-driven brands and businesses.
With over 20 years of experience in marketing, ministry, and publishing, I know how overwhelming the publishing journey can feel — especially when you don’t know where to start or who to trust.
That’s why I created this Manuscript Review + Strategy Session. You deserve a trusted guide who can give you honest feedback, a real plan, and encouragement.
Let’s make sure your message is ready to change lives — starting with yours.
