Language and Style
Overview
The Language and Style Analysis evaluates how effectively your manuscript uses language to support tone, pacing, character, and clarity. It considers not just grammar or correctness, but how voice, rhythm, vocabulary, and syntax contribute to the reading experience. The focus is on how the prose feels, its energy, vividness, and readability, and how well it matches your narrative goals and genre expectations.
This analysis highlights where your writing already succeeds in creating a distinct and immersive style, and where refinements in clarity, conciseness, or rhythm might elevate the overall impact.
Purpose of the Language and Style Analysis
This analysis is designed to help you refine the tools of voice and prose style with intention. It assesses how sentence structure, word choice, tone, and rhythm contribute to or detract from the narrative experience. Particular attention is given to elements like repetition, clarity, figurative language, and how well the writing supports the story’s emotional arc and genre conventions.
The aim is not to standardize voice but to help you harness it more deliberately, ensuring that each sentence pulls the reader deeper into the story.
