Writing Style Options:

  • Default Style: Neutral tone with no specific style influence

  • Custom Styles: Various tones based on your target audience and preferences

  • Combination Styles: Mix multiple compatible styles

Important Notes:

  • You cannot select conflicting writing styles

  • Conflicting tones will automatically grey out if you attempt to select them

  • The entire manuscript will use the same style as your selected sample
