An editor for every author.

Dear writer,

I wrote a novel. Finishing it was a feat in itself, but once I had, I realized I had read it so many times that I could no longer see it. It had become part of me. I knew every sentence by heart, and because I knew where it was going, and I knew what I meant, I could no longer tell whether I had put all of it on the page. Did the middle really hold? Was a promise I made in chapter three ever kept? Did the thing I meant to say get said, and understood?

My friends tried. They were kind, and genuinely impressed that I had written such a long collection of words at all. I needed more specific help than kindness. I needed an editor who understood me, my intent, and the heart of my story, and who also knew the rules of fiction I was supposed to be following. Where did the story break? Where did it come apart, and how could I fix it?

So I built the reader I needed. RedPencil is an AI editor. It reads the whole manuscript before it says anything, and every note points to the chapter and page it rests on. It has a better memory than any human reader, and it doesn’t get offended when I argue with it. When it isn’t sure, it says so. When it is sure, it has receipts. It suggests and it asks, and it never writes a word of the book. The sentences stay mine, and yours stay yours.

I’m revising my own novel with it now. It has to earn its place on that manuscript before it reads anyone else’s, and that is the test I hold it to. When RedPencil opens, you’ll be able to bring your whole book to it, as a pass before a human editor or alongside one.
