About Long Story
While writing her debut novel, Annie Long Sullivan discovered firsthand how vital beta reader feedback is to crafting a polished manuscript. This experience sparked a mission: connecting debut authors with the actionable feedback from expert readers.
Drawing on her network of passionate, genre-savvy readers, Annie founded Long Story to help first-time novelists strengthen their work and navigate the path to publication. At Long Story, we're book people through and through, and we are dedicated to optimizing your manuscript and bringing you closer to publishing your book.
