A Helping Hand

Author A.I. is an exciting new enterprise that uses artificial intelligence to produce an insightful, actionable 32-page analysis of your book that’s easy to understand with useful color graphs and charts. The report covers basics like spelling, grammar, and repetitive use of adjectives, adverbs, and cliches, but where this system really shines is its ability to critique a novel’s pacing, plot structure, story beats, subject matter, and character traits.

IngramSpark authors can receive a free A.I. analysis of their novel through our new partnership with this authors-run site!
