How we structure a three-pass edit
Every manuscript that comes into the house goes through three passes — structural, line, and voice. Here is what each pass actually does, and where AI-assisted analysis fits in.
Short pieces from the editors on craft, process, and the tools we use in the manuscript pipeline. Below the notes, a short honest record of what the imprint has done so far.

Every manuscript that comes into the house goes through three passes — structural, line, and voice. Here is what each pass actually does, and where AI-assisted analysis fits in.
Comp-title research, readability scoring, metadata generation. We use AI for the parts that used to eat an editor's evening — a human editor reviews every output before it touches the manuscript.
Amazon categories are crowded. The right comp titles tell the algorithm where your book belongs — and tell the reader what to expect when they open it.
Voice is the part of a manuscript that resists a checklist. Here is what our editors actually listen for on the third pass — and what they leave alone.
