Editorial review
Run sixteen rule-based checks and six model reads across a chapter or a manuscript, then accept or decline what it finds.
You can run an editorial review at whatever scope fits, read its report, and act on each suggestion one at a time.
Chapter, manuscript, or part
Start an editorial review from a chapter, from a whole manuscript, or from a single world part, and the analysis runs at that scope only. A single chapter’s review reads fast; a whole manuscript’s review is the same checks run across every chapter in it, gathered into one report.
The sixteen rule and count checks
Most of what a review finds comes from sixteen checks that count and measure rather than guess: overused words, sentence length against a guidance band, the share of “sticky” sentences glued together with filler words, passive voice, readability scores like Flesch-Kincaid and SMOG, dialogue tags, and more. Each one reports a number and, where it makes sense, the threshold it was measured against.
The six model reads
Alongside the counting checks, six others read the chapter the way a person would, using the model running on your machine rather than a fixed rule, the kind of judgment call a spreadsheet cannot make on its own, like whether the point of view actually drifts partway through a scene.
Reading a report
The overview is one card per analyzer, Dialogue, Lexical, Pacing, POV, Style, and the rest, each showing how many notes it has and a one-line summary. Open a card and it expands into the full detail behind that summary: the actual numbers, the guidance band they were measured against, and which sentences triggered a flag.
Accept change and Decline
Where a check suggests an actual rewrite rather than just pointing something out, you get two buttons on it: Accept applies the change to your chapter, Decline leaves your words untouched and moves to the next suggestion. Nothing is applied to your manuscript until you say so.
