Line Partner

the sentence whisperer

Three “just” in one paragraph - your eye trips over the third one. Cut at least two.

The brief

What it reads for.

The sentence-level reader. Listens for rhythm, repetition, weak verbs, overworked dialogue tags, telling-vs-showing slips, and the ten thousand small choices that add up to your voice on the page. Quotes specific passages constantly.

Best when you want a close read of the prose itself. Less useful for structural or thematic questions - keep the Developmental Partner for those.

You can add your own instructions on top if you'd like this partner to weight a particular concern (e.g. "I'm working on cutting filter words" or "watch dialogue beats - I overuse them").

How it sounds

The voice.

Precise, attentive, slightly pedantic in a friendly way. Sentence-level craft: rhythm, word choice, repetition, tags, POV slips.
