Get Real Feedback From Your Market At Every Stage
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.
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.
One Platform for Every Review
Whether you publish trade and inspirational titles, curriculum, or educational resources, CIVITAS gives you a single platform for every review your program needs. You see what reviewers think, and how they engaged with your content.
Before you commit
Share a table of contents, sample content, and feature set with the readers, leaders, and teachers you hope to reach. Whether you’re evaluating an author’s proposal or developing a concept in-house, gauge market acceptance and gain positioning and competitive insight before you sign or commit.
At page proofs
Reviewers see your resource as it will be published. A final check confirms accuracy, relevance, and usefulness, and positive responses generate early buzz, endorsements, and quotes.
While the content is being built
Peer, expert, and target audience reviews, those who will use your materials, review for accuracy, level, scope, and alignment with your tradition, while there's still time to revise or reposition your content.
After launch
An Interactive Book Tour presents final pages, author video, key features, and the story behind the resource. Your audience can comment, ask questions, and share feedback, turning promotion into a two-way conversation that extends your reach.
