Illustrative — the Story Health view

Built for novelists Your words stay yours Analytics, not AI writing Free during the beta

You can see your word count. You can't see whether the story works.

Beta readers are slow. A full edit is expensive. So revision becomes guesswork on a 90,000-word document — where exactly does the pace drop? Did a plot thread go missing? Narrastat gives you an objective read in minutes, drawn from the words you actually wrote.

What you get

Everything your draft is telling you — made visible.

Narrastat analyzes the story you've written and shows you its shape, so revision is a decision, not a guess.

Import in minutes

Bring the manuscript you already have — upload a Word document or paste your text. No reformatting, no changing how you write.

Diagnose the draft

A Story Health dashboard shows pacing, structure, and plot points objectively — the read a good editor gives you, in minutes.
