How it works

1. Upload
No chapter markings or special formatting required — Deneb works on any manuscript, structured or not. The full report includes a breakdown by section on manuscripts long enough to split meaningfully — pinned to your real chapter headings if Word heading styles are present, or split evenly by length if they’re not — either way, a bonus, never a requirement.
2. See your free preview
Analysis runs automatically the moment you upload — no payment required to see it. You get real numbers for all 10 checks (adverb frequency, most-repeated-word count, passive-voice rate, and more) right away, so you know what you’re paying for before you pay for it.
3. Unlock the full report
Purchasing unlocks the actual flagged instances — the specific words, examples, and locations behind each number — plus the section-by-section breakdown, in an interactive on-screen report and a downloadable PDF summary saved to your account.

Coming Fall 2026

No subscription — pay once, ever, only once you know what you’re getting. Every report after that is free.

Deneb
Handles full-length manuscripts — up to 250,000 words. Free aggregate preview, then a one-time purchase unlocks the full report for every manuscript — no subscription, ever.

Personal license: analyze your own manuscripts. Not licensed for providing manuscript assessments to other writers as a service.

Recommended workflow: run Deneb first, revise based on what it flags, then format the polished result with Rigel.

Your manuscript is never retained

Unlike Rigel and Mirach, Deneb has no re-run mechanic — your uploaded manuscript is analyzed entirely in memory and never written to storage at all, paid or not. Only your finished report and PDF summary persist in your account, so you can log back in anytime and redownload them.

Coming Fall 2026

Deneb isn’t accepting new orders right now while we finish testing — check back soon.
