Not a Copy Editor gives your writing a focused, voice safe copy edit so you can fix distractions and inconsistency while you stay firmly in control of your style.

Protect Your Voice With A Copy Edit

Polish your chapter so it reads clean and professional while you keep full control of your voice.

Most authors know their draft needs a copy edit, yet they do not want an AI to rewrite their style or rearrange their scenes. This tool gives you a focused clean up of grammar, punctuation, and clarity while it respects your choices on tone, diction, and rhythm. Inside the Patron Toolbox it helps you get your manuscript ready for beta readers, agents, or a human editor without turning into a different writer on the page.

When you upload your chapter, the tool generates:

• A clear overview of the writing's strengths and the main issues holding it back
• A marked up version that fixes errors while preserving your voice
• A list of patterns and problem areas so you can improve future chapters on your own
• Practical notes that fit into a professional editing workflow from first draft to final proof

You will walk away with a cleaner, clearer chapter and a sharper eye for your own copy issues.

Use It To

• Clean up grammar, spelling, and punctuation before you send pages to an editor or agent
• Find distracting tics like repeated words or clunky phrases that you no longer see
• Check that tense, point of view, and character details stay consistent through a chapter
• Prepare a stronger version of your chapter for workshops, contests, or sample uploads
