A review gate for writing

Prepare the work. Challenge the claims. Keep the final call.

BookJury reads your manuscript, then checks every draft you write about it against the book itself. Quotes must exist. Claims are tiered as documented, tradition or unknown. Two independent AI reviewers must pass it. You decide, and the record shows why.

How it works

Four gates between a draft and the world

Nothing posts itself. Each stage returns the rule it applied and the line it cites, so when it says no you can fix the right thing.

Intake

Upload the manuscript. BookJury segments it, builds a profile and a rule set, and asks you to confirm before anything else runs.

Critic

Four axes, each weighted with a minimum score. Every piece of evidence is a quote that must exist in your source, checked by code, not by the model.

Panel

Two reviewers on different models, same packet, no view of each other. A hold from either one holds the draft, with the flagged line and reason.

Your call

Approve, revise or stop. Export a report in print, Markdown or Word. The packet hash and policy hash travel with it.

One-click full review

Critic, approval and both panel seats chained with a progress strip. Every grey button says why it is grey.

Report export

Print or save as PDF, Markdown and Word, with the packet hash and policy hash on every copy.

In build

More platforms

TikTok, Facebook, X, YouTube and Goodreads formats on every book, each with its own length and tone rules.

References extracted, DOIs and URLs resolved, quoted passages matched to the cited source, mismatches flagged by line.

Next

PDF and Word intake

Upload the source as you have it. Segmentation, profile and rules built from the file, not from a paste.

Planned

Draft generator

Posts, blurbs and scripts drafted from the manuscript under the same rules the Critic enforces, then sent through the same gates.

Planned

Launch calendar and results

Schedule approved pieces, record what you posted and what it did, and keep the record beside the review.

Planned

Teams and guilds

Editors, co-authors and reviewers on one workspace, with PennedWeb and iauthr connected.

Who it is for

Anyone who writes and has to stand behind it

The draft was right and the rule was wrong. The system caught its own rule. That is the point of building it.

  • Authors checking launch copy, blurbs and posts against the manuscript, without leaking spoilers or overclaiming history.
  • Essayists and journalists who need every quote and figure traced to a source before it is sent.
  • Thesis and report writers with citations that must hold up. Citation checking is the next stage of the build.
  • Ghostwriters and editors who want a record of what was claimed, by whom, and on what evidence.

Where it stands. BookJury runs end to end today on the author's own books. The workflow is being simplified for other writers, then widened to essays, theses and cited work. Private beta by invitation. No date promised until it is ready.
