Amsterdam Academy Press: Intake Questionnaire
Welcome! We're so glad you found us. Please fill out our AAP Intake Questionnaire so that we can better gauge how we can best help you with the self-publishing process. 

After filling out this form, one of our agents will reach out to you via email within 1 week to schedule a free 30-minute discovery call (via zoom) based on your answers. Some of these questions might sound a bit technical. No worries, just fill out as much as you can. 

If you already have a part (or full) manuscript, we might ask you to submit a writing sample, depending on the services you require. We also offer a manuscript 'fit' test as an additional screening tool, to ensure that we match you with the appropriate editing service, should that be needed.
