Manuscript continuity workflows
Where Wise Wombat fits before beta readers, copyedit, querying, publication prep, and the next book.
Run the right check at the right time
Continuity checks are most useful when the manuscript is stable enough to review and early enough that story fixes are still affordable.
Run a continuity check before beta readers
Use Wise Wombat before beta readers so human feedback can focus on story experience instead of avoidable contradictions.
Run a continuity check before copyedit
Use a continuity pass before copyediting so sentence-level polish does not lock in story-level contradictions.
Run a continuity check before querying agents
Use Wise Wombat before sending requested pages or a full manuscript so avoidable contradictions do not weaken the read.
Run a continuity check before publishing
Use a final continuity review before publication prep to catch story logic issues that proofreading is not designed to solve.
Run a continuity check before book two
Use continuity review and a series bible before drafting or revising the next book in a connected series.
