Falls cleanly under KDP's AI-assisted safe harbor and Royal Road's no-disclosure-needed category. Editorial, never generative -- every pass is logged and your prose is never rewritten without an explicit accept.

Maeve waited at the threshold of the Court until she could taste the iron of her own lip again.

He did not look at her, and that was worse than if he had struck her.

The court spoke around them, polite and bright as glass, and every sentence was a knife she'd helped sharpen.

Editorial flag

Pacing: Dark Night of the Soul beat placed at 23% manuscript — Hayes's framework expects 62–68%.

The flag links straight to the offending line. Open the panel; the agent shows you the comparable canon row it graded against.

Romantasy · variant 1 / 3

Six editors, three subgenres

The editorial team you'd hire.
Calibrated three ways.

The same editors a published indie author would commission a month before launch -- but each one knows the conventions of romantasy, epic fantasy, and LitRPG (with progression fantasy along for the ride). That is the calibration. That is the wedge.

  1. 01Continuity Keeper

    Holds the Story Bible -- characters, locations, lore, magic systems, LitRPG/ProgFan System Bible -- and diffs canonical facts against your manuscript. Series-scoped: catches the Mana Shield in Book 7 that was traded away in Book 5.

  2. 02Pacing Analyst

    Subgenre-calibrated against four named frameworks: Hayes's 20 beats (romantasy), Sanderlanche + multi-POV curves (epic), Rowe's Core Loops + tier reset + Dinniman's interwoven model (LitRPG / progression fantasy).

  3. 03Genre Reader

    Statistical comparative analysis against the declared subgenre's curated comp corpus. Flags missing tropes, deal-breakers, broken opening / closing conventions. Not a conversational persona.

  4. 04Developmental Editor

    Scene/chapter structural analysis -- turn, try/fail, stakes, emotional arc, hooks. Findings feed the Dev Letter and appear inline. Role, not persona.

  5. 05Line Editor

    Prose rhythm, filter words, POV drift. Sample rewrites are framed 'for critique, not drop-in.' Voice matching via few-shot from your own samples -- no LoRA, no training.

  6. 06Copy Editor

    Grammar, punctuation, dialogue formatting, US/UK consistency. Baseline mechanics, locale-aware, never the editor that touches your style.

What an editorial pass actually catches.

One concrete revision per subgenre -- the kind of note an editor would write, anchored to the lines that need it.

01

Pacing Analyst · Hayes 20-beat audit

Dark Night of the Soul misplaced. Grand Gesture absent.

The Pacing Analyst runs the manuscript against Hayes's 20-beat sheet for romantasy and surfaces the two beats holding the climax back -- one in the wrong slot, one missing entirely.

Beat coverage

18 / 2020 / 20complete

Before
“Dark Night of the Soul lands at 23% manuscript (Ch. 9) -- Hayes's framework expects it at 62-68%. Grand Gesture is absent across the last six chapters; the climax has nothing to earn.”
After
“Author moves the separation beat to Ch. 28 (65% mark) and adds a Grand Gesture chapter at Ch. 34. Hayes coverage hits 20 / 20; the Genre Reader auto-marks both prior flags as addressed on the next pass.”
02

Pacing Analyst · Sanderlanche position

Saggy middle tightened. Sanderlanche back on schedule.

Multi-POV epics drift when the antagonist's plotline goes quiet and the climax pressure stops compounding. The Pacing Analyst surfaces the gap and the rest/action ratio that produced it.

Climax pressure

41% by Ch.3063% by Ch.30on track

Before
“Chapters 21-29 spend ~40,000 words on Daros's training arc; the Shadow Court POV last appeared in Ch. 20. Climax pressure sits at 41% -- comparable multi-POV epics at this length pass 60% by Ch. 30 to land a Sanderlanche.”
After
“Author cuts a 6,000-word side-quest from Ch. 25 and inserts a 1,400-word Shadow Court interlude. Antagonist cadence falls back to ≤4-chapter rotation; rest/action ratio moves from 71/29 to 58/42 across Act II. The Sanderlanche timer is on schedule.”
03

Continuity Keeper · cross-book skill registry

Skill used in Ch.14 was traded away in Book 5.

LitRPG continuity compounds across books -- the Continuity Keeper holds the series-scoped Skills registry and catches a skill use that contradicts a trade five books earlier. (Book 7 of a series.)

Series canon

1 cross-book conflict0 conflictsregistry holds

Before
“MC casts Mana Shield in Book 7 Ch. 14 ('the dome held against the third volley'). The Skills registry shows Mana Shield was traded to Vael in Book 5 Ch.22 ('one skill for one debt') and never reacquired across Books 5-7.”
After
“Author swaps Mana Shield for Iron Vow (still in MC's loadout per the registry) and adds a half-line callback to the Book 5 trade. Continuity Keeper marks the flag as addressed; Skills registry stays consistent.”
