Chapter-by-chapter developmental analysis of your manuscript. Pacing maps. Continuity checks. Character arc assessments. Actionable revision priorities, not vague sentiment.
Upload Your Manuscript £20 per reportEvery report covers the same ground as a professional developmental editor.
What your book is really about, where it has the reader, and where it loses them.
Pacing, character, plot, tension, and specific concerns for every chapter. Not padding — only chapters that need attention get detail.
A visual momentum chart showing exactly where your book accelerates, sags, and peaks.
Arc, voice, consistency, and reader relationship for every major character.
Causality chain analysis, subplot integration, turning points, and structural integrity.
Specific timeline errors, physical impossibilities, and factual contradictions with chapter references.
Whether tone holds across the manuscript, and where shifts feel accidental rather than intentional.
Does the first chapter hook? Does the ending satisfy the promises the opening made?
Prose quality, dialogue, voice consistency, show-don't-tell, sentence rhythm, sensory engagement.
Eleven questions answered from a first-time reader's perspective. Believability, clarity, engagement, surprise.
Star ratings across 18 categories with one-line assessments. Your manuscript's health at a glance.
The most impactful changes you can make, ranked. Specific and actionable, not vague advice.
Every report includes a visual momentum map for your entire manuscript.
Most AI beta readers tell you how readers might feel. We tell you what's structurally wrong and where to fix it.
