Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does NovelShovel do?
NovelShovel scans your completed scenes and reveals the hidden structure of your manuscript — which characters appear where, how your pacing shifts across scenes, and whether your point of view is drifting. It gives you a blueprint of what you've actually written so you can revise with clarity.
Is this AI? Will it rewrite my story?
NovelShovel uses NLP to read structure — names, pronouns, dialogue tags, sentence length — but it never uses AI to critique your prose, suggest changes, or write text for you. It is a structural mirror, not a co-author. Your words stay untouched.
Does it check grammar or style?
No. NovelShovel is purely structural. It does not evaluate grammar, spelling, prose quality, or style. It only maps presence, pacing, and perspective — the invisible architecture beneath your writing.
How does the analysis actually work?
When you mark a scene complete, the engine reads the text to identify names, pronouns, and dialogue tags. It maps who is present in every scene, building a Presence Grid and Momentum Curve that surface structural patterns — like a character who vanished or a pacing shift you didn't intend.
What defines a "Completed Scene"?
You decide. Inside the editor, check "Mark Scene Complete" when a scene is ready. Only completed scenes feed the structural analysis. Incomplete drafts stay private and unscanned until you say so.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Yes, anytime. Manage or cancel your plan from your account settings. No lock-in, no dark patterns. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of your billing period.
What happens to my work if I cancel?
Your work is yours. Export your full manuscript as Markdown or JSON at any time — whether you're on a paid plan or the free sandbox. Nothing is locked behind a subscription.
