Paste a manuscript — a chapter or the whole book. In a few seconds you get the cast and who fades out, point of view and tense chapter by chapter, contradictions between chapters, phrasing the book leans on, a Story Health score, how the prose sounds (measured, not guessed), and the things that will break by chapter 20 if nobody is holding the book's memory. No AI call, nothing stored, nothing spent.

Why manuscript analysis matters for fiction

Rule-based analyzers catch patterns human eyes skim past—especially in AI drafts where filter words, adverbs, and passive voice cluster predictably. Use metrics to prioritize revision, not to flatten your voice. Run a chapter first, fix the worst offenders, then scan the full manuscript.

Tips for fiction authors
