ECHOES stores your writing only temporarily to complete an editorial analysis. After a Precision Edit has analyzed your text and sent a response to you via email, the Precision Edit will delete your text. ECHOES is not liable for the loss of text. Always keep a record of the texts you upload to ECHOES!
Mind a scene is not a chapter. A chapter comprises multiple scenes. Don’t submit chapters, because that may impede the scene analysis.
Fiction editors charge between $0.02 to $0.049 per word. An average scene has 1,750 words. Assuming a $0.02/word charge, a fiction editor charges at least $35 for editing a scene. ECHOES analyses your scene structure for just $5 (volume discounts available).
ECHOES will analyze your scene according to the Eight Craft scene structure. An Eight Crafts scene has the following elements:
- Scene orientation
- Stimulus and stakes
- The POV character’s scene goal
- Progressive involvement and adversity
- External stake flip (aka external turning point)
- POV character’s Response to the External Stake Flip
- Internal stake flip (aka internal turning point)
- POV Insight (the POV character understands adversity)
- POV Crisis (the POV character faces a crisis)
- POV Choice (the POV character makes her choice)
- Climactic action (the POV character acts on her choice)
- Outcome (the outcome of the POV character’s action)
- POV wrap-up (the POV character’s response to the outcome)

If the ECHOES Scene Structure Precision Edit identifies multiple scenes, it may tell you so and give you a scene analysis for each one. If your scene misses a scene element, ECHOES may tell you so and suggest one.
The Eight Crafts Scene Analysis won’t assess your scene’s prose. When generative AI advances to the point it can evaluate prose and line-by-line writing, we will develop a Prose Precision Edit.
