Hiring a developmental editor, a line editor, and a proofreader runs $2,000–$5,000 a book. Pasting your whole manuscript into an AI and hoping costs you your voice. The Story Clinic is the third way: the complete editing PROCESS a paid team would run, organized into guided passes — with you making every call.

Load your manuscript (it splits into chapters for you), and the Clinic builds an expert prompt for each pass. You paste it into the AI you already use — Claude, ChatGPT, any of them. When your AI answers, paste the revision back and the Clinic shows you every change like a Word document: red for cuts, green for additions, an Accept or Keep-mine button on every paragraph. Nothing touches your manuscript until you press apply. There's always an undo.

Your book is never uploaded anywhere. No account, no subscription.

This is not an "AI writes your book" gadget. The Clinic never generates a word of story. It's the editorial process — organized, guided, and entirely under your control.

Instant download: two single-file tools that open in any browser on Windows, Mac or tablet. Work offline, auto-save as you edit, free updates.

Brand new to editing? The Editing Coach (also in this store) is the gentle on-ramp. The Clinic is where you graduate to.
