Your Book Screening Canvas

9 pillars. 15 minutes. A clearer book idea.
About 15 minutes

This isn't a test. There are no right answers. A question mark is a perfectly good answer — it just tells you where your next thinking needs to go.

The Book Screening Canvas works through 9 strategic pillars. Each one asks something different about your book idea. Your job is to get something down — not to get it perfect.

Messy is beautiful. First thoughts are better than polished nothing.
You can skip anything. Hit "Not sure yet" and come back. The gaps are useful too.
You can jump around. Click any pillar in the sidebar to revisit it any time.
At the end: a completed canvas grid + a smart read of what it means.

What your canvas is telling you

This isn't a score. It's a read of how your nine answers fit together — where you're strong, where you're still finding your way, and what to pay attention to next.
