A Note on Process

Now that the story is told, a brief, honest word on how it was made.

The editorial revision of this manuscript was aided by Galleys, an AI editorial framework I developed alongside this project. Galleys doesn’t write prose. It reads the way a demanding editor reads, flagging structural weaknesses, pacing problems, and the prose habits a human eye stops seeing after the hundredth pass. The choices, the plot, the sentences, and the mistakes are mine. Galleys made the book sharper, and if you’re a writer, it might do the same for yours: galleys.ai.

That’s all. Thank you for staying to the end of the road.
