Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Fiction authors completing fantasy or speculative manuscripts struggle with syntax friction and mechanical errors, but automated linters and generic copyeditors frequently flatten intentional stylistic choices, disrupt prose cadence, and flag proprietary worldbuilding nomenclature as errors.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Provide targeted fiction line editing and syntax smoothing grounded in Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) standards, delivered via Word Track Changes alongside a manuscript style sheet to ensure mechanical precision while strictly preserving worldbuilding terminology and narrative voice.

Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position
  • Target fantasy and speculative fiction authors polishing prologues and short stories who currently rely on manual freelance gigs ($10 - $250 posted ranges) by offering automated, voice-preserving line editing that explicitly respects custom worldbuilding glossaries.
What to build first
  1. Build a glossary parser that extracts and locks proprietary fantasy nomenclature (character names, spells, factions) so style-checking linters do not flag them as spelling or grammar errors.
