Abstract
Fictional writing is the art of creating stories that are not based on real events or people. In recent years, book projects for smaller communities have become popular, not least due to the success of e-book platforms. In the context of story wringing, copy editing is an important step in the writing process as it ensures the overall quality concerning grammar, spelling and style. Currently, this step usually is executed by costly specialists. This is a problem for writers who are starting their careers. This paper presents a tool platform that simplifies the process of copy editing. Authors can execute first check steps themselves. The amount of further iterations with a commercial lector is reduced or may even be omitted. Our tool is able to apply even complex style rules that are based on deeper grammar analyses of texts.
