Why it exists

Continuity work is too important to leave until the final panic.

Beta readers catch what they notice. Editors catch what time allows. Wise Wombat gives authors a repeatable diagnostic pass between draft milestones, with findings grounded in the manuscript instead of vague AI advice.

Characters

A side character changes age, job, or sibling count between chapters.

Promises

A clue, prophecy, or emotional thread is introduced and then forgotten.

Sequence

Travel time, injury recovery, and event order no longer line up from scene to scene.

Setting

Rooms, landmarks, weather, and distances quietly mutate across scenes.

Diagnostic coverage

Purpose-built checks for the problems readers remember.

Every check is designed to point back to evidence, so you can decide whether something is a real problem or an intentional choice.

Timeline contradictions

Catch scenes, dates, ages, and event ordering that quietly stop agreeing with each other.

Character fact drift

Track names, relationships, descriptions, goals, and recurring traits across the whole manuscript.

Location continuity

Surface setting details that move, disappear, or contradict earlier worldbuilding choices.

Unresolved references

Find promises, clues, terms, and callbacks that appear once and never get paid off.

Dialogue voice drift

Spot places where a character's speech pattern changes in ways you may not intend.

Structural anomalies

Review pacing, chapter balance, missing handoffs, and abrupt transitions with evidence attached.

Free trial versus Draft

Try the core signal first. Upgrade when the draft needs a deeper pass.

The free trial is a focused sample assessment on one manuscript. Draft is the paid workspace for authors who want the full continuity suite, reruns after revisions, and additional manuscript projects.

Free trial

3 checks on one manuscript

Best for seeing whether Wise Wombat catches useful, evidence-backed continuity issues in your own draft.

Timeline sequence

Event order, dates, ages, and confusing time jumps.

Character facts

Names, traits, relationships, goals, and stable backstory details.

Dialogue voice drift

Speech patterns that change in ways the draft may not intend.

Draft

Full suite for revision work

$19

Best for ongoing manuscript development, second passes after edits, and deeper story logic checks.

22 automated checks instead of 3

Reruns after revisions and major edits

Additional manuscript projects

Deeper checks for POV, setup and payoff, world rules, pacing, props, and motivation

Author workflow

A continuity pass that fits between drafts.

Upload your manuscript

Start with DOCX, EPUB, PDF, or plain text and keep the draft in your workspace.

Run the diagnostic suite

Start with the free trial checks, then use Draft when you need the full diagnostic suite across revisions.

Review evidence, not guesses

Each finding links to supporting passages so you can accept, dismiss, or investigate with confidence.

Latest run

The Glass Orchard

94 findings

Chapter 4 and 9 disagree on ferry travel time.

High confidence

Mira's scar moves from left wrist to right palm.

Needs review

The red ledger is introduced but never resolved.

Open thread

Evidence first

See the issue, the passages, and the manuscript context together.

Wise Wombat is not trying to write your book. It gives you a clean queue of things worth checking, then lets you mark findings as accepted, dismissed, or resolved as the draft improves.

Keep authorial control while using AI for tedious continuity review.
Create a repeatable pre-editor pass for each major revision.
Separate manuscript issues from rewrite suggestions and generic critique.
Cross-reference connected manuscripts when a series needs consistency.

Built for private drafts

Your manuscript stays in your workspace.

Drafts are personal, unfinished, and commercially sensitive. The app is designed around authenticated workspaces, row-level isolation, and author-controlled manuscript handling.

Scoped data

Projects and findings are tied to the signed-in author.

Private by default

Dashboard, manuscripts, and reports stay behind auth.

Author-controlled

You choose which manuscripts to assess and when to run a pass.

Author questions

Built for continuity work, not generic critique.

Wise Wombat is for authors who want a focused manuscript continuity checker before they hand a draft to readers, editors, or production.

What does an AI manuscript continuity checker look for?

Wise Wombat looks for continuity problems such as timeline contradictions, character fact drift, inconsistent locations, unresolved references, dialogue voice drift, and structural anomalies.

Is Wise Wombat an AI book editor?

Wise Wombat is focused on diagnostic manuscript analysis rather than rewriting. It highlights evidence-backed issues so authors can decide what to change.

Which manuscript formats can authors use?

Authors can start with DOCX, EPUB, PDF, or plain text manuscripts.

When should I run a continuity assessment?

Run a continuity pass between major drafts, before beta readers, before a professional edit, or after large revisions that may have introduced new contradictions.

What is the difference between the free trial and Draft?

The free trial runs 3 checks on one manuscript so authors can see evidence-backed findings in their own work. Draft unlocks the full 22-check suite, reruns, and additional manuscript projects.

What is the difference between Draft and Series?

Draft is for running the full diagnostic suite on individual manuscript projects. Series includes Draft and adds cross-manuscript consistency checks across connected books.
