What is the Chapter Critique?
Chapter Critique is an AI-powered tool that offers on-demand developmental critique to writers. It provides comprehensive feedback on plot, characters, pacing, descriptions, dialogue, and more. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced writer, you can receive instant feedback to improve your craft.
How to use the Chapter Critique
Chapter Critique appears in the Web Editor, after you click the Critique button in the toolbar that appears at the top of your document.
Simply click on the Chapter Critique button to run the report on your document. It will run on the first 4000 words of your document and bring up a window showing you all the results of the analysis. We recommend writing at least 500 words to ensure you get a meaningful amount of feedback on your writing.
If you want to run the report on 4000 words of a longer document, you can highlight the text you want to analyse using your cursor, and then click on Chapter Critique to see your results for that section of text.
The report you see works a lot like our Summary report, which means you can click through all the headings on the left to see specific feedback about your document.
For example, if you want to spend some time working on your character development, you can click on the Characters heading to see what the Chapter Critique says about how you’ve written your characters.
What do the sections of the Chapter Critique mean?
Each section of the AI-powered Chapter Critique Critique gives you feedback on your writing, which you can use for improvements and continuous development of your story.
We’ve provided a detailed breakdown of what the headings mean, and the kind of feedback you can expect here.
Do I have to use the Chapter Critique?
No, if you don’t want to use the Chapter Critique on your document, you do not need to click on it.
Clicking on the report is the only way to run it on your document. There isn’t a way to remove it from your reports toolbar.
How do I save my Chapter Critique reports?
Every time you run a Chapter Critique, we will save it automatically to your Feedback History.
We also synchronize your saved Chapter Critique reports across all our integrations. You can read more in this article.
