Manuscript

An Editor Beside You, While You Write

Manuscript is a focused writing and editing environment for your novel. Draft on a clean page, navigate by chapter, and ask for a second opinion whenever you want one. It edits with you; it never writes for you.

The central idea is simple: you should not have to wait until a draft is finished to understand how your story is working.

Feedback Grounded in Your Story

Story Stream maps your characters, relationships, plot threads, events, and themes into a living story graph. When Manuscript reviews a scene, it knows where you are in the book, who is on the page, and what the moment means in the larger story.

That context is what makes the feedback specific to your novel rather than generic advice from a chatbot.

Chapter Reviews

Finish a chapter and get clear feedback on what is landing and what still needs work. Each review returns structured developmental feedback, including what is working, what is not, and a suggested revision path.

Craft Reviews

Run a targeted pass when you know the kind of feedback you want. Dialogue, pacing, plot coherence, sentence-level craft, and filler words are available as one-click reviews grounded in the same deep story engine.

Writing Coach

The writing coach asks what you intended, then offers revision paths that fit your book, world, chapter, and scene. Open a coaching dialogue from scene-review feedback and work through the problem with an editor that knows the manuscript.

Beta Readers

Get reactions from a panel of sixteen custom beta reader agents: craft lenses, publisher and industry perspectives, and diverse voices. Beta readers answer how the chapter lands for readers while the developmental editor answers what the craft needs.

Voice Read-Aloud

Hear your book read aloud with leading voice models, including ElevenLabs and Google. Read-aloud helps reveal awkward rhythm, flat dialogue, and small proofing gaps your eyes skip over.

Revision Checklist

Turn chapter feedback and editorial notes into tracked work items. The revision checklist gives you a clear path from insight to action, so important notes do not disappear between drafts.

Pricing

Writing in Manuscript is free. Review features use pay-as-you-go credits, and every writer receives $10 in free credits to try the Manuscript editing features. There is no subscription, and your balance stays available if you pause writing.
