Book Bible: names and context
The Book Bible holds book-specific context such as characters, terminology and forms of address. Open it from the book to check recurring names before a larger batch.
- Prioritize frequently recurring characters, places and terms.
- Read a proposal’s evidence or context before approving it.
- Check for conflicts with existing entries instead of accepting all proposals at once.
Editorial memory: learn from your edits
When available for your book, editorial memory records choices that help later translations. Review suggestions so a change appropriate for one sentence does not become an unsuitable rule for the whole story.
Style samples: start with reviewed work
Choose a passage or chapter that reflects the quality you want. A useful sample demonstrates narrative voice, sentence rhythm and forms of address; a flawed sample carries flawed choices forward.
- Open the book’s style section and use the available options.
- Approve the sample after comparing it with the source.
- Try another chapter and review the result before translating a larger batch.
