In short
AuthorsPack QA Office audits a finished manuscript for continuity errors, timeline conflicts, character fact drift, style inconsistency and publication readiness, then returns a scored report with the exact chapter and paragraph location of every issue. A full audit of a novel costs around $14 and produces a QA score out of 100.

QA Office standards
The rules this department works to
Taken from the house specification every AuthorsPack department shares. Each rule says whether it is enforced by code, bounded for the model, or left to your decision.
Measured before reviewedCode
Pre-flight QA
Widows, orphans, image resolution, bleed, gutter width, TOC anchors and quote consistency are measured by code first; the review model only judges what code cannot.
Chicago Manual of StyleCode
Typographic copyedits
Ellipses, em dashes, curly quotes and elision apostrophes are corrected mechanically, and each change cites the Chicago section it follows.
Hyphenation & widow controlCode
Professional text setting
Words under six letters are never hyphenated, no more than two hyphenated lines may stack, and widow control is on for every print interior.

What you get
Built for the part that actually matters
01
Continuity across the whole book
Not chapter-local spellcheck. It holds the full book model in memory and flags a character whose eyes changed colour 200 pages apart.
02
Timeline validation
Tracks stated durations, days of the week, seasons, ages and travel time, then reports the places where they contradict.
03
Character fact drift
Builds a fact sheet per character from the text itself, then reports every later statement that conflicts with it.
04
Located, not vague
Every issue reports chapter, paragraph and the offending sentence, ranked by severity, so a fix session is an afternoon rather than a week.

Still deciding?
Every rule we work to is published, with who enforces it — code, model or you.
It overlaps but reaches further. Proofreading catches typos and grammar at sentence level; this also catches structural and factual contradictions across the whole book, which is the class of error human proofreaders most often miss because they can't hold 90,000 words in working memory.
