Chapter Summarizer converts your full manuscript into clear chapter by chapter summaries that agents and editors can skim in minutes.
Create proposal ready chapter summaries with a click.
Many authors bog down when they reach the chapter summary section of a book proposal. You know your story or structure so well that it becomes hard to be brief and clear. Chapter Summarizer does the heavy lifting for you so you can present your book in a format that literary agents and acquisitions editors actually want to read. Inside the Patron Toolbox this tool helps you move from finished draft to submission ready proposal with less stress and more clarity.
When you upload or paste your manuscript, the tool generates:
- A concise chapter by chapter summary written in clean, professional language
- Clear headings for each chapter that make your proposal easy to skim
- Focused descriptions that highlight key events, turning points, and takeaways
- A coherent overview that shows how your book builds from start to finish
You will walk away with a polished chapter summary section that strengthens your book proposal and saves you hours of tedious outlining.
