Your book remembers, so you don't have to.

By chapter twenty, nobody can hold every eye colour, birthday and broken bell in their head. The story bible holds them for you, and the continuity reader checks the text against it.

A story bible entry for a place, with facts found in the text and a new fact waiting for the writer to add or decline.

A story bible that keeps itself up to date, with your yes

Characters, places, objects and the glossary of your world, each with facts, relationships and every scene they appear in. As you write, the bible keeper proposes new facts it finds in the text, and each one waits for you to add it or decline.

Writing a series? One story bible can be shared by every book, and each book keeps its own complete copy.

Continuity that shows both sides

When a detail contradicts another (Teo here, Tomás there; a well capped in 1931 and drawn from in 1932), the continuity reader shows you both places and says why it thinks they disagree. You decide which is right.

Two notes in the margin about point of view and tense: a slip in tense shown as a tracked change, and a sentence that slips into another character's head.

The rules of your world

Write down how magic works, what the tides do or who may enter the chapel. Continuity reads the text against your rules, and a map can pin your places to the bible.

The rules of a story's world, written by the writer, which the continuity reader checks the text against.

The shape of the story

Plot threads braided across the book show where a thread goes quiet for too long. Setups and payoffs keeps a ledger of the promises your book makes to the reader, and flags the ones it hasn't kept.

Plot threads braided across the book, scene by scene, with a gap where one thread goes quiet.
