Backstory
Backstory helps you inspect scene order, information flow, and the job each scene is doing in Novilot's Analysis Tools. Review evidence from your manuscript and decide what to revise.
What this tool is for
Use Backstory when you want a focused structure & scenes pass over a manuscript. It looks at scene order, information flow, and the job each scene is doing, then gives you findings to verify in context before you revise.
- Backstory works from the manuscript you already wrote, inside Analysis Tools.
- It shows evidence and suggestions for review instead of silently changing your prose.
- It is useful during revision, a focused scene check, or a final pass before you share the book.
Where it lives in Novilot
Open Analysis Tools in a project to run this tool on your manuscript. Findings are for you to review. Novilot does not silently rewrite your prose.
Honest scope
- Works from the draft (and project context) you already wrote.
- Reports findings so you can revise with evidence.
- Does not claim to replace a human editor or write your novel for you.
