The short version

By Haowjy (Creative Writing)

Get detailed, adversarial feedback on your fiction writing across voice, pacing, character, and clarity.

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Strip AI-sounding phrases and jargon from your writing to make it sound human and trustworthy.

Analyzes fiction drafts for plot logic, pacing issues, scene necessity, and stakes
Evaluates character motivation, arc progression, and relationship dynamics for consistency
Reviews voice quality, dialogue authenticity, POV discipline, and subtext
Identifies line-level prose problems like rhythm, clarity, repetition, and show-vs-tell balance
Checks continuity across facts, timeline, geography, and character states

Flags and suggests replacements for AI signature words like 'delve', 'robust', 'leverage', and 'tapestry'
Identifies empty phrases and throat-clearing ('It's important to note that...', 'In today's landscape...') and removes them
Catches corporate jargon, hedges, and hyperbolic claims that make writing sound generic
Enforces sentence case for headings and simpler sentence structures
Runs a verbal tic test to ensure your writing sounds like something you'd actually say

You've finished a draft and need honest feedback on what's not working
You're revising a novel or short story and want to focus on specific dimensions like character or pacing
You need to know which structural issues to fix before polishing prose
You want adversarial reading that challenges your assumptions rather than validates them

You've drafted content with AI help and need to make it sound like a real person wrote it
You're publishing journalism, press releases, or reports where credibility matters
You're reviewing any text before it goes live and want to catch AI tells
You need to strip jargon and buzzwords from corporate or marketing copy
