Continuity editing for indie authors

Find the contradictions your readers would have found.

Upload your manuscript and Book Check Genie reads it end to end, remembering every character fact, date and number — then reports the places they disagree, with chapter references you can act on. Supports .docx, .pdf, .epub, .rtf, .txt, and .md manuscripts.

Private storage. Your manuscripts are visible only to your account.

What's included

Continuity checking

Character facts, timeline logic, numbers, plot state, worldbuilding and voice/POV — checked across your whole manuscript.

Verify Your Fixes

Upload a revision and see exactly which flagged issues were resolved, side by side with the original.

Series-wide tracking

Group books into a series so continuity carries across the whole story, not just one manuscript.

Canon Engine

Approve your book and series canon once — characters, relationships, locations, objects, events, and world rules — and every new manuscript and revision is automatically checked against it, with contradictions flagged as canon conflicts alongside your other findings.

Timeline

See your manuscript's events in story order, including in-story dates where stated.

Plot Threads

Tracks open questions, goals and conflicts across chapters, flagged as Resolved, Open or Stalled.

Relationships

Tracks character relationships across your manuscript.

Polish checks

Tense consistency, name-spelling variants, and repeated phrases — flagged automatically.

Pacing & readability stats

Dialogue-to-narration ratio, chapter length, sentence length, and estimated reading time per chapter.

Evidence-backed reports

Every finding shows the exact quoted excerpt and the chapter it came from.

Export & share

Download your report as PDF or CSV, or share a secure read-only link with an editor or beta reader.

Collaboration

Invite co-authors, editors, and beta readers to a book or a whole series, with view-only access you can revoke at any time.

What each check covers

Character Tracking

Physical descriptions, ages and relationships, including explicit disambiguations — two characters sharing a surname stay marked "no relation".

Timeline & Sequential Logic

Stated dates, durations and chronological order, strictly filtering out subjective internal monologue so only hard facts are compared.

Numeric & Factual Precision

Counted objects, timer sequences that catch countdown discrepancies, and case details that must stay exact from chapter to chapter.

Plot State & Physical Logic

Persistent injuries and medical conditions, dropped props and evidence, and organisational succession after a character leaves.

Worldbuilding & Lore Integrity

Magic rules, period accuracy, procedural details, technology limits, fictional geography and travel times that must hold together.

POV & Voice Consistency

Third-person head-hopping, sudden past-to-present tense switches, and voice drift that pulls a character out of character.

Romance, fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, thriller, historical — checks are structural and genre-agnostic.

Series Continuity

Book 4 should remember what Book 1 established.

Book Check Genie automatically builds a series bible from completed checks, then compares each sequel against the characters, timeline, lore, places, and rules your earlier books made canon.
