Within minutes, we run a suite of parallel diagnostic passes across your entire book — pacing, tension, character arcs, causality, threads, genre promises, and more — then synthesise everything into a single, focused read.

Into the Weeds delivers the one thing about your manuscript the editor can't shake, grounded to the exact passage. The Receipts show every claim with evidence. The Revision Map gives you 3–5 concrete steps to start improving.
Revise and re-read.
Work inside the built-in manuscript editor, where every piece of feedback links to the scene it's about. When you've revised, run a new read and watch the problems close.
More than a diagnosis.
After your First Read, the full depth of the system opens up.
