SOFTWARE FOR NOVELISTS

Your manuscript leads. The details stay in view.

Vellam supports writing and revision around a specific manuscript: it remembers its world and shows where the author needs to decide.

Chapter 3, excerpt

Vel really just wanted to leave already.

The door was closed by someone unseen, whom no one had heard or noticed.

He muttered quietly under his breath.

WHAT VELLAM CHECKS

Analysis that leads back to the manuscript.

01

Context from a specific novel

Characters, places, plot threads, and craft findings stay connected to the chapters they come from.

02

Writing beside analysis

Return to a chapter, review the findings, and decide for yourself how the manuscript should change.

03

Order through revision

Collected results help separate urgent issues from questions that need more thought.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPORT

Different work calls for a different tool.

Criterion Vellam Human editor General chatbot
Starting point Works around a specific manuscript and its chapters. Reads the work in light of its brief, genre, and intended effect. Starts with a question and the material added to the conversation.
Support for the writer Surfaces patterns, possible issues, and connected places in the text. Clarifies priorities and guides the book through a deeper editorial process. Helps think through one problem or possible response at a time.
Who writes the text The author changes the manuscript; Vellam supplies analysis. The author keeps the voice while drawing on human judgement and dialogue. Can suggest wording when asked, but does not hold the complete intention of the book.
