Deneb — Prose Craft Analysis
Deneb
by Lodestar — Prose Craft Analysis
Strengthen the prose before you publish it.
Upload your manuscript and get a report on the craft-level issues that quietly weaken writing even when plot and structure are fine — overused words, adverb frequency, filter words, sentence-length variance, echo words, said-bookisms, dialogue-to-narrative ratio, and passive voice. Every check is rule-based pattern-matching and counting — no AI, and your manuscript is never used to train anything. Deneb identifies patterns without rewriting the author’s voice.
Coming Fall 2026
1. Upload
No chapter markings or special formatting required — Deneb works on any manuscript, structured or not. The full report includes a breakdown by section on manuscripts long enough to split meaningfully — pinned to your real chapter headings if Word heading styles are present, or split evenly by length if they’re not — either way, a bonus, never a requirement.
2. See your free preview
Analysis runs automatically the moment you upload — no payment required to see it. You get real numbers for all 8 checks (adverb frequency, overused-word count, passive-voice rate, and more) right away, so you know what you’re paying for before you pay for it.
3. Unlock the full report
Purchasing unlocks the actual flagged instances — the specific words, examples, and locations behind each number — plus the section-by-section breakdown, in an interactive on-screen report and a downloadable PDF summary saved to your account.

Coming Fall 2026Recommended workflow: run Deneb first, revise based on what it flags, then format the polished result with Rigel.
Unlike Rigel and Mirach, Deneb has no re-run mechanic — your uploaded manuscript is analyzed entirely in memory and never written to storage at all, paid or not. Only your finished report and PDF summary persist in your account, so you can log back in anytime and redownload them.
