For novelists and screenwriters
Compares to the editorial read a pro would give you — for novels and screenplays — without any AI writing, rewriting, or opining on your work.
Novelists get a Narrative Evaluation: the kind of multi-page revision letter you’d pay hundreds for from a developmental editor. Screenwriters get Coverage: the same structural scorecard a studio reader produces when deciding whether a script moves forward. Both come from the same engine. No AI touches your prose. We measure; you write.
Analyze a manuscript Read the canon
A professional-grade editorial report for your novel. You get a roadmap for your next revision: where pacing sags, where the protagonist stops driving the plot, where prose clutter is costing you voice. The same shape as a revision letter from a traditional publishing house — minus the six-week wait and the four-figure invoice.
The document the industry uses to decide whether a script moves forward. Slushproof produces an automated version: an objective scorecard, a structural beat-map (is your midpoint actually in the middle?), a character agency audit, and production metadata like location counts and character screen-time ratios.
| Feature | Professional Human Evaluation | Slushproof Narrative Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Subjective Taste & Intuition | Objective Narrative Intelligence |
| Objectivity | Can vary based on the editor’s mood | 100% consistent across every chapter |
| Memory | Prone to recency bias | Tracks every character beat with total precision |
| Turnaround | 2–6 weeks | Instant (post-submission) |
| Primary Goal | Subjective creative advice | Objective technical diagnosis |
Every submission is analyzed through five lenses. Findings from all five converge into a single report: what’s working, what isn’t, and where to look.
Structure — The Skeleton
Maps your plot points to ensure the story has a satisfying, balanced arc.
Pacing — The Heartbeat
Monitors the speed of your story to prevent middle-muddle and rushed endings.
Character — The Engine
Ensures your protagonist is an active participant driving the plot forward.
Prose — The Texture
Identifies technical clutter: overused adverbs, passive constructions, cliché patterns.
Voice — The Soul
Checks for POV consistency and ensures your unique tonal signature remains stable.
No. Slushproof does not write, rewrite, or “fix” your prose. We measure — math, not AI — and show you the patterns. You remain the sole author and creator of every word.
The engine is calibrated against industry standards for successful commercial and literary fiction. It looks for the mathematical markers of effective pacing, clear character agency, and balanced structure that are common in top-tier published works.
A comprehensive Narrative Evaluation — a multi-page report that breaks down your story’s health across the five facets and provides a roadmap for your next round of revisions.
By identifying and resolving technical “slush” — POV drifts, structural sags, passive protagonists — early on, you ensure that agents and editors are focused on your story and voice rather than distracted by mechanical issues.
“Slushproof measures. You write.”
— The principle of the platform.
