How It Works

How Prose Refinery Works

Prose Refinery is a specialist editorial practice focused on structural narrative integrity in speculative fiction.

We do not offer stylistic polish, motivational feedback, or generic writing advice. We diagnose and correct failures in plot architecture, character escalation, pacing pressure, and world-system logic. That prevents revision cycles from wasting months.

The 4 Core Pillars

The structural load-bearing walls of any speculative novel.

Plot Architecture

Does the structure hold weight?

Character Integrity

Do internal arcs drive external action?

World-System Logic

Is the setting consistent and consequential?

Pacing & Pressure

Does tension escalate effectively?

Editorial Standards

Editorial work is carried out by Prose Refinery's lead structural editor and, where appropriate, supporting reviewers operating under the same diagnostic framework.

All reports follow standardised formats and quality controls to ensure consistency regardless of reviewer.

Prose Refinery is led by a senior structural editor with a background in speculative narrative systems.
