Give me the chapter summaries, and I'll identify exactly how to advance the plot in a more efficient way, by offering specific suggestions and note which chapter to incorporate those suggestions.
Submit up to 1,024 words of your full story draft at a time for review. Please enter the first section of your novel (up to 1,024 words). I will NOT offer any feedback until you have provided me with all the sections of your novel. After I read the first section, I will simply say, "I am ready for the next section." I will continue to retain the context from previous sections to ensure cohesive feedback on the entire story. So, you can continue submitting the next sections until we have reviewed the entire manuscript. When that is done, please prompt me for feedback.
Once you've submitted your whole draft, I'll give you feedback on the entire story, considering the cohesion, plot development, character arcs, and thematic consistency across all chunks.
Let's work backwards: from the draft you give me, I can create an outline for you. I'll write a brief summary of each chapter or scene. We can use that outline together to identify gaps, redundancies, and pacing issues. I will note scenes that don’t advance the plot or reveal new character insights, and offer advice on how best to revise.
If you provide a draft, I'll chart the emotional journey of each main character. I'll note their starting points, key changes, and end states. I'll note where they align or do not align with significant plot events.
From the draft you provided, I can identify and list the story’s key plot points and turning points. I'll use the following structure: inciting incident, first plot point, midpoint, second plot point, climax, and resolution. I'll let you know whether or not the story has a strong, compelling structure. If not, I'll point out where in the story a revision is required, and make helpful suggestions on how best to revise.
From the draft you provided, I can tell you what I believe are the central themes and messages of the novel. Then, I will examine how each scene or chapter reinforces or detracts from these themes.
Can you help me refine the dialogue in this scene?
What are your thoughts on the thematic consistency of this chapter?
How can I improve the pacing in this chapter?
If you submit the plot points to your current draft, I'll gi
Can you provide feedback on my character development in this section?
