For novelists, not for content

Your story doesn't need a ghostwriter.
It needs a sounding board.

Talk through your story with an intelligent reader who remembers what you've established. Story Sounding Board holds your characters, facts and chapters in mind, then helps you think — it never takes over the writing.

Your unpublished manuscript stays private. We never train models on your work.

Continuity check · Chapter 12

Potential issue

Mira reaches for the brass key — but chapter 9 may have established it as lost.

Evidence

“…she dropped the key into the canal and did not look back.”

Chapter 9 · “What the Water Took”

A question for you

Did Mira retrieve the key off-page, or is this a second key the reader hasn't met? I may be missing context.

Findings are labelled as potential issues with the passage quoted. Nothing is rewritten for you.

It remembers your canon

Characters, relationships, world facts and every chapter you add become the story memory it reads against.

It reasons, you write

Every finding is evidence-based and hedged. It will not produce replacement prose for your manuscript.

Built for unpublished work

Private by default, row-level isolated, deletable in one click. Your drafts are not training data.

How it works

Give it your story once. Then think out loud, chapter after chapter.

01

Establish your canon

Add characters with their wants, fears and moral lines. Record the facts and relationships that are true in your world.

02

Paste a chapter or scene

Drop in the text you're working on with a short summary. It joins your story memory and is retrieved when it's relevant.

03

Choose how you want to be read

Run a focused check, or just open the sounding board and talk through what's bothering you.

Character Reality Check

Would she actually do this? Checked against the wants, fears and moral lines you recorded — not against a generic personality template.

Continuity Check

Surfaces potential continuity issues across chapters — timelines, objects, who knew what and when — with the conflicting passages quoted.

Plot Logic Check

Traces cause and effect, stakes and convenient resolutions, and asks where the reader might stop believing you.

Sounding Board

An open conversation about the problem you're stuck on. It asks questions and holds your canon in mind. It doesn't write your scene.

What we won't claim

It's a careful reader, not an oracle.

No tool catches every plot hole, and we won't pretend otherwise. Story Sounding Board raises potential issues with the evidence attached, so you can decide whether it found a real problem, a deliberate gap, or simply missed the point. You stay the author.
