Part of the editor

Your book, read back to you

What you said each scene does, next to what is on the page.

A reverse outline is what revision guides tell you to build by hand: go back through the finished draft and record what each scene does. This one is already built, from your prose, and it is never out of date.

Each scene shows the one-line summary you wrote for it, then the viewpoint, the characters who appear, and the length read straight off the page. The gap between the two is where revision starts. It points out the scenes with no summary, no clear viewpoint, a viewpoint that changed from the scene before, or a length nothing like the rest of the book, and it measures that against your own writing rather than a rule. Every note is a fact about the page or a gap you left, never a judgment about quality.

What it does

  • Every scene with its summary, viewpoint, cast, and length.
  • The shape of the book: scene count, total words, typical scene length.
  • Quiet flags for missing summaries, unclear viewpoints, and outlier lengths.
  • Follow one character and see only the scenes they appear in.
  • Read off your prose, with no language models anywhere near it.
