Finished the novel?π
Then comes the part nobody warns you about: figuring out how to sell it.
Our team just launched Marlowe Market Fit. It reads your manuscript and builds a report with comp titles, pitches, descriptions, Amazon keywords, ad copy, and a market readiness score.

Only 11% of fiction authors use AI to generate their text. Most use it for brainstorming, research, and catching plot holes.
Authors want a critique partner, not a ghostwriter.

Before creating something new, ask what you could give a second life. An interview answer could become an articleβor one useful tip.
Repurpose with purpose, not just to produce more.

What books are like yours?
It's the question behind every comp title, and it's easier to answer when you know there are two kinds.
Subject comps share what your book is about. For "The Avenger and The Voice" by B F Jochnowitz, Market Fit matched "The Family Upstairs" (Lisa Jewell), "Local Woman Missing" (Mary Kubica) and "My Lovely Wife" (Samantha Downing).
Writing style comps read like your book. Here: "Alone in the Dark" (Karen Rose), "Tell No Lies" (Allison Brennan) and "Cold Heart" (Lisa Regan).
Every comp in your report comes with the reason it was chosen and its publication year, so you can check recency before it goes in a query letter. Ten of each, twenty in all. Verify each one yourself before you use it.

I love writing. But sometimes anxiety makes it nearly impossible to do the work I love.
Sound familiar?
In today's Wordslinger, I'm sharing a few things I've learned about managing anxiety, reclaiming my focus, and getting words on the page.

Think quitting your day job will make you a more productive writer? You might be surprised.
Iβve written 90+ books, and sometimes I was MORE productive with a full-time job. Here's what I've learned about writing for a living.

Does your main character actually change?
Readers may forgive a lot, but they rarely forgive a character who ends the book exactly where they started.
Check your own draft: write one sentence for who your protagonist is on page one, and one for who they are on the last page. If the two match, the arc may need work.
Marlowe Proβs developmental feedback looks at your plot and narrative arc, and how your characters grow across the book. It never rewrites the text of your book.

How is author podcasting changingβand whatβs working now? On Sunday, Oct. 18 at 3 p.m. ET, Iβll join @markleslie for βNew Trends in Author Podcastingβ at @IndieAuthorALLiβs free online SelfPubCon. Register: selfpublishingadvice.org/selβ¦ #SelfPubCon
Two different questions every author needs answered:
Is my story working? (craft)
Is my book positioned to find readers? (market)
Marlowe Pro answers the first: structure, pacing, character, dialogue.
Marlowe Market Fit answers the second: comps, genre, keywords, descriptions, pitch angles.
A great book with weak positioning can get missed. A well-positioned book with weak craft loses readers. Check both, and save $20 with the Marlowe Pro + Market Fit bundle.
Marlowe analyzes your book. It never rewrites it.

A quick heads-up about a little planned downtime tonight.
Starting at about 8:30 p.m. ET, the Authors A.I. site will be unavailable for a few hours while we switch over to a brand-new customer interface for submitting manuscripts and accessing your reports.
Weβre really excited about this update. The new interface should make it easier and more intuitive to submit your work, manage your manuscripts, and view your analyses.
And weβre launching something new this week: our Marlowe Market Fit Report!
Stay tuned...
