I may be barking up the wrong tree, but to me the problem seems to be not so much what org does, but what latex does. If that is so, then perhaps what is needed is a latex style file that formats prose "correctly for the literary world". That may be a non-trivial undertaking (but maybe not: typographical demands for a novel are trivial compared to say mathematics). Integrating such a hypothetical style file into org would be pretty easy. But perhaps the OP can clarify: what does "incorrectly formatted for the literary world" mean? Nick
