Get Real Feedback From Your Market At Every Stage
Publishers rely on outside feedback. Market testing a new title, reviewing content for accuracy, gauging market reaction before launch. CIVITAS is a single platform for running every kind of review your publishing program needs. It gives you information that helps you make better publishing decisions, not just reviewer feedback, but how they engaged with your content.
Before you spend a dollar on development
Test a book or product concept early, with just a TOC, a sample chapter, and a feature list. A Civitas Market Acceptance Review puts your concept in front of the people who'd buy it and tells you whether it's worth building, before real money is on the line. Too many publishers skip this step. CIVITAS makes it easy enough that you won't want to do another project without this tool.
Feedback at Every Point in the Process
While the content is being built
Get structured feedback from subject-matter experts and target reviewers on accuracy, level, and scope while there's still time to act on it, refining the product to meet market needs and ensuring you can hold your own in a competitive market.
When you're testing how to sell it
Try different positioning, messaging, or cover concepts with real readers and see what actually resonates before your marketing team commits to a direction.
Before launch
Using a branded pre-publication review, what we call the Book Tour, your content can engage your market dynamically. Reviewers can see sample content, excerpts, author videos, and endorsements. They can provide their feedback in the moment.
The Difference: You See What They Did, Not Just What They Said
Every CIVITAS review captures engagement data alongside feedback — what reviewers actually viewed, how long they spent with each section, which parts held their attention. That's especially powerful for Market Acceptance Reviews and Book Tours, where knowing what pulled readers in is as valuable as knowing what they thought of it.
