EditScribe

AI-powered professional manuscript editing platform with Series Bible Manager.

🎯 What is EditScribe?

EditScribe is a revolutionary manuscript editing tool that delivers professional-quality editing at 95% cost savings:

  • Traditional editing: $5,500-$15,000 per 50k novel
  • EditScribe: $99 per manuscript

✨ Key Features

1. Series Bible Manager (Priority #1)

Automatically extracts and tracks:

  • Characters: Names, traits, relationships, appearances
  • Locations: Places, descriptions, significance
  • Timeline: Dates, events, chronology
  • Objects: Important items, descriptions

User reviews and edits the Bible before review agents run - ensuring accuracy!

2. 4-Stage Professional Editing

  • Developmental: Plot, character arcs, pacing
  • Line Editing: Prose quality, style, dialogue
  • Copyediting: Grammar, consistency, spelling
  • Proofreading: Final polish, typos, formatting

3. Smart Multi-LLM Strategy

  • Claude Sonnet 4.5: Premium agents (judgment, creativity)
  • Gemini 2.5 Flash: Budget agents (technical, rule-based)

4. Selective Fixing

  • User selects which issues to fix
  • Preview before/after changes
  • Accept or reject individual edits

🚀 Quick Start

Backend Setup

  1. Navigate to backend:
cd backend
  1. Create virtual environment:
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate  # Windows
  1. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Configure API keys:
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and GOOGLE_API_KEY
