For writers

Find what a page-by-page read can't

A rule stated in chapter three and broken in chapter fifteen. A character who knows something too soon. The Manuscript Audit runs focused AI checks across your whole book, tests every finding against your text, and gives you a ranked plan for your next revision. I'm the only person who works on your manuscript, and you stay the author of every word.

Full Audit from $600 · Structural Pass from $400. Priced by length, fiction and non-fiction.

Major · Continuity

Maya knows about the letter two chapters before she finds it.

Ch. 9: "She thought of the letter, still hidden in her father's desk." But the letter is first discovered in Ch. 11.

Direction: decide when Maya learns of the letter, then make Ch. 9 reflect what she knows then.

One method runs through all of it: AI does the first pass, a second system tries to break it, and a person answers for what ships.

I've run businesses since 1996, with time at VeriSign and Zeta Global. Today I write, build, and work directly with every client. There is no team behind the curtain.
