Names, terms and formatting kept identical across your manuscript.
The conductor, a thin man named Pell, nodded as she passed. Mara kept her bag on her knees and her eyes on the platform clock.
She thought about the night her father left, the shouting, the slammed door, the suitcase she had packed in a hurry, and how every choice since had led her to this train.
The carriage was nearly empty. A man slept against the far window. Mara did not notice the woman across the aisle until the whistle sounded twice, and then she was suddenly very aware of her stare, and it made her feel very uncomfortable.
The woman wore a green coat, she held a paper cup in both hands, like something warm she had been given to keep. Neither of them spoke.
The doors hissed open at Aldgate. “Mind the gap,” said Mr. Peel, and no one moved.
Mara counted the stops on the map above the door. Six more. She had allready counted them twice.
The silence stretched between them like an endless ocean of unspoken sorrow. She pressed her thumb into the seam of her bag and waited for the next announcement.
She looked at the window instead. Her own face looked back at her, pale and tired and small. Behind it the tunnel wall went by in long grey streaks.
The woman in the green coat stood, and Mara's stomach turned over. But she only crossed to the door, held the rail, and got off without a glance.
Mara let out a breath she had not known she was holding. Then the doors closed, and the train moved on.
7 suggestions reviewed across 2 pages. Every accepted change uses your own words, and your voice match held steady.
Style & consistency editing hunts down the small drifts a reader still notices: a name spelled two ways, a term that changes halfway through, a tense that slips mid-scene. Every manuscript gets an AI-powered consistency pass tuned by 100+ years of combined publishing experience, with a real human editor a request away whenever you want a second opinion.
See what's includedStyle & consistency editing catches the drift that builds up across a long manuscript, the kind no single read-through tends to notice. Every note is shown inline, with a reason attached, so you decide what to accept.
Catches spelling drift on names and places across the whole manuscript, like a character introduced as "Sara" who becomes "Sarah" halfway through.
Tracks established facts, eye color, ages, scars, dates, so a detail set in Chapter 2 doesn't quietly contradict itself by Chapter 20.
Flags invented terms, jargon, and recurring concepts that get referred to differently from one chapter to the next.
Checks capitalization of invented proper nouns and titles, plus consistent use of italics for thoughts, emphasis, and foreign words.
Settles compound-word choices like "email" vs. "e-mail" or "seat belt" vs. "seatbelt" to one consistent form across the manuscript.
Standardizes spelled-out numbers versus digits, date formats, and measurement units so the same convention holds throughout.
Catches accidental tense shifts within a scene or chapter, where the narration slips from past to present and back without meaning to.
Keeps serial-comma use, quotation-mark style, and em-dash formatting consistent across every chapter, not just the ones you reread.
Nothing changes without you. Every note is inline and reversible, with full undo/redo as you work through revisions.
No mockups here, just the real flow, screen by screen, for a style & consistency pass. Pick a plan below to see its own process end to end.
The editing screen opens on three plans. Pick "Free" and you're in, no card required, this is a real style & consistency pass on your own opening pages, not a locked-down demo.
Drop in a .docx, .pdf, or .txt file, or auto-load one already saved to your account. Style & Consistency is checked by default; add any of the other passes if you want them run at the same time.
Every suggestion on your free pass works exactly like the other plans: original line, suggested rewrite, the reason it's flagged, and a check against your own voice fingerprint.
Text past the opening 500 words is blurred and locked, no matter how long the manuscript is. That's the whole free plan; nothing charges automatically.
Folio only edits the opening 500 words for free. Upgrade to Standard to cover the rest.
Liked what you saw? Unlock Standard to run the same passes across the whole manuscript, or hand it to a dedicated human editor instead, both pick up right where the free pass left off.
Pick Standard and the whole manuscript is in scope, however long it is, with no per-chapter add-ons.
Drop in a .docx, .pdf, or .txt file, or auto-load one already saved to your account. Choose which of the six edit types to run and how intense a pass you want, then continue to confirm your order.
Before anything runs, you review your manuscript and plan. Check out by card, or contact a consultant first if you have questions.
Each suggestion shows the original line next to what's suggested, why it's flagged, and a check against your own voice fingerprint, across the entire manuscript, not just a sample. Accept, keep the original, or skip and come back later.
Once you're through, see how many suggestions you accepted, how many you kept as-is, and how the result checks out, then export as Word or PDF, save it to your account, or carry straight on to formatting and publishing.
Skip the software entirely and hand your manuscript to a real, experienced style & consistency editor who works through it page by page.
A short form: manuscript name and genre are optional, your page count and contact details set up the call, and you pick a date and time that works for you.
You review your manuscript and page count before committing. Check out by card, or contact a consultant first if you have questions.
A real, experienced style & consistency editor works through your manuscript personally, then sends you the finished draft, by email or straight to your Folio dashboard, whichever you'd rather use.
Download your edited manuscript from the dashboard whenever you're ready, and ask your editor for as many rounds of revision as you need until you're happy with it.
Style and consistency editing is included in Standard, along with every other tool. Edit it yourself with Folio's software or hand it to a real editor. No subscriptions, and your book always stays yours.
Style & consistency editing checks a manuscript against itself, names, terms, formatting, and timeline details staying identical throughout. Copy editing checks grammar, syntax, and correctness sentence by sentence. Many manuscripts run both.
No, it's included in Standard, the $150 one-time plan that unlocks every pass and tool for your book. If you'd rather have a human editor comb through it directly, that's available with Humanize, at $3 per page.
Both. Each note explains what's flagged and why, and most come with a concrete suggestion for which version to standardize on, like which spelling of a character's name to keep.
Yes. The whole point of a consistency pass is catching drift that builds up over hundreds of pages, the kind a single read-through misses because no one remembers exactly how something was worded eighteen chapters ago.
Yes, the pass covers capitalization, italics, hyphenation, quotation-mark style, and how numbers, dates, and units are written, alongside names, terminology, and timeline continuity.
The AI pass is ready in minutes, regardless of manuscript length. If you bring in a human editor, timelines depend on manuscript length, and your Pipeline page shows an estimate once it's underway.
Upload a sample and see the style & consistency notes for yourself. No card, no commitment. Standard unlocks it for your whole book, along with every other tool.
