Every detail should hold together.

• Review of up to 5,000 words or one selected chapter, plus up to five pages of supporting material
• Identification of the clearest continuity risks involving characters, chronology, setting, terminology, or story logic
• A one-to-two-page report with three-to-five prioritized findings and why they may matter to the reader
• Guidance on which Continuity Forge service best fits the manuscript's needs
• The full $25 fee may be applied toward another Continuity Forge service for the same project

This introductory snapshot is not a complete manuscript audit. If you move forward with another Continuity Forge service for the same project, the full $25 fee will be credited toward that service.

• Review of one clearly defined continuity concern, storyline, character arc, timeline, or revised section
• Cross-checking against the manuscript passages and supporting canon relevant to that concern
• A concise findings summary with locations, evidence, severity, and practical recommendations
• Written clarification of the findings after delivery

This is a focused review, not a complete audit of the full manuscript. The written quote will define the exact question, pages, chapters, or materials included.

• A structured reference built from the manuscript and supporting materials supplied by the author
• Act or part summaries, chapter-by-chapter synopses, and narrative architecture
• Character profiles, arcs, relationships, roles, physical details, knowledge, and abilities
• Timeline, event order, ages, locations, travel, organizations, terminology, and recurring objects
• Established technology, magic, political, cultural, or other story-world rules and exceptions
• Promise-and-payoff tracking, open canon questions, unresolved threads, and update controls
• An organized, reusable reference designed to support revisions, sequels, and future continuity checks

This service creates a reference guide for an existing manuscript or series. It does not create, ghostwrite, or rewrite the manuscript itself.

• Full-manuscript review of character facts, relationships, knowledge, injuries, possessions, and arc continuity
• Chronology, elapsed time, travel, location, cause-and-effect, and scene-sequence checks
• World rules, terminology, organizations, technology or magic systems, and established exceptions
• Unresolved promises, setup-and-payoff conflicts, repeated explanations, and reader-confusion risks
• Priority-ranked findings report, structured issue log, manuscript references, and practical remediation options
• One 30-minute debrief to clarify findings and discuss revision priorities

This service identifies and documents continuity risks. It does not include copyediting, proofreading, developmental rewriting, or direct revision of the manuscript unless separately contracted.

• Cross-book comparison of characters, relationships, chronology, locations, terminology, objects, and world rules
• Review of sequel facts against earlier volumes and the controlling canon materials supplied by the author
• Identification of canon drift, retcons, unexplained changes, repeated names, inherited promises, and timeline conflicts
• Priority-ranked findings with book and manuscript locations, supporting evidence, and resolution options
• Structured issue log suitable for managing revisions across multiple books
• One 30-minute debrief to clarify findings and establish revision priorities

The starting price covers two manuscripts. Additional books, manuscripts over 100,000 words, and unusually complex canon materials are addressed in the written quote.
