Editorial Review works on your documents as well as your novels. For non-fiction, it reads your whole document through four lenses, with your intended reader in mind, and suggests where to strengthen it. As always, it suggests and you decide.
The four lenses
| Lens | What it looks at |
|---|---|
| Argument | Whether your case holds together from start to finish |
| Clarity | Where a reader might lose the thread |
| Evidence | Claims that need more support |
| Voice | Whether your tone stays consistent and suits your reader |
Run a review
- Open your document.
- Click Analysis in the toolbar and choose AI Editor.
- Under Who’s it for?, describe your reader, for example “charity trustees new to governance” or “first-time novelists”. Writing Desk remembers this for the document.
- Choose all four lenses, or just the one you’re working on.
- Click Run analysis.
The review covers the whole document. The panel shows the credits it will use before you run it.
All four, or one at a time
Running all four lenses together gives the best value: one review, one charge, and feedback that covers your piece from every angle. Running a single lens costs less, which suits a focused pass, such as checking the evidence after you’ve added new sources.
Length
Each review covers documents of up to 10,000 words. The panel tells you if a document is longer, before anything is charged.
Using the feedback
Treat the review as a fresh pair of eyes, and weigh each point against what you know about your subject and your reader. Your earlier reviews stay with the document, so you can come back to them while you revise.
