What changes
Send your link without a knot in your stomach.
Your About page is often your first interview, and you are never in the room. Here is how that feels once you know it is ready.
You stop flinching when you send the link
The pitch goes out and you are not holding your breath. You know the page is speaking well for you, even while you sleep.
Strangers take you seriously and remember you
A visitor who has never heard of you decides fast whether you are the real thing. They leave with a sense of the person, not a list of credits.
Hosts and journalists are glad to introduce you
A busy host finds someone they would love to put on the air, and the words to do it. Saying yes to you gets easy.
A good first visit becomes the start of something
A reader who warms to you finds somewhere to go next. Their interest has a place to land instead of ending at the bottom of the page.
The moments your About page matters most
Pick the one in front of you. Each is a time you want the page to do you proud.
The week before you pitch a podcast or a journalist
Hosts and writers often check your About page before they reply. Walk into the pitch knowing the page is ready for them.
The day you hire a designer or rebuild your site
You hand the project a clear sense of what to keep and what to change, so the new page starts from strength instead of guesses.
The months before your first book comes out
You do not need a published book to start. Get your story and your credibility in shape now, so launch day finds your page ready.
The season your books or direction change
A page written for your first book can quietly fall behind as your catalog grows or your genre shifts. You find out what it now leaves out before it costs you a reader.
The evening after you finally make the edits
You can check the live page again and feel the progress. You see what worked and what still deserves your attention.
Bring your About page link.
You bring
Your About page link goes in. The page must be public so the tool can load it.
Your work stays private. Author Media does not store, track, or view what you post. The AI services use business APIs with privacy set to the maximum.
You get
A numerical score and fixes ranked by priority come out.
You get one report, not a chat, so copy anything you want to keep. The tool reviews a page you already have and does not write a new one. It works from the page as it loads, so it can miss images or content added by scripts. If the report describes a page that is not yours, run it again.
Before you scan
What is the About Page Scanner?
If you suspect your About page is letting you down but cannot say why, this is for you. About Page Scanner is an AI tool for authors that reviews an About page you already have.
Who should use this tool?
Any author who wants to feel sure about their About page. That includes indie and traditionally published authors, novelists and nonfiction writers, authors with no book out yet, and authors whose page was written years ago. If you are not sure what a strong About page needs, you do not have to work it out alone.
Can it give me feedback on my author bio and About page?
Yes, and it feels better than guessing. You find out how your page comes across to a reader, a host, or a journalist meeting you for the first time, in words you can act on.
Does it write my About page or bio for me?
No, and that means your words stay yours. About Page Drafter writes an About page, a short bio, and a tagline from your own answers. A simple order is to scan first, draft new copy if you need it, and then scan again.
Can I use it before I have published a book?
Yes, and it is a smart time to start. Fixing your page now means it is ready when your book is.
Should my About page be in third person?
If you are torn between "I" and "she," hosts and publishers usually expect an author bio in third person, because they can read it aloud or print it without rewriting. The choice is yours.
Can it judge my headshot and photos?
Your photo matters, and it deserves a human eye. The tool can judge it only in part, because it works from the page as it loads and can miss images. Look at your headshot and photos yourself, including in your site's media library.
What if the report describes the wrong page or says my page did not load?
That is frustrating, and it usually clears up. Run it again. Sometimes a page loads only in part, and some authors need a third try. Make sure the link is public and not behind a login or a coming-soon screen, and check that the report sounds like your page.
Can I see my progress after I make changes?
Yes, and it is a good feeling. Make your edits, run the live page again, and see what moved.
Can I ask follow-up questions?
If you like to talk things through, know this first. You get one report, not a chat. Copy anything you want to keep, make your changes, and run the live page again.
Will it improve my search ranking or get me more interviews?
It is natural to hope a better page brings more interviews and readers. No tool can promise that, and this one does not measure traffic, search rankings, or bookings. You learn what is holding your About page back as a first impression. For page titles and meta descriptions, use SEO/GEO Optimizer.
Does it review my homepage or book pages?
Your About page is only one doorway into your site. This tool reviews the one About page you enter. Check your homepage with Homepage Scanner and each book's page with Book Page Scanner.
Is my work private?
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool, including the link you enter. The tools reach each AI through its business API with privacy set to the maximum, so the AI companies do not train on your words. The page you name is loaded only so the tool can analyze it.
How much does it cost?
The About Page Scanner is included with any Novel Marketing Patreon membership of $10 per month or more. That membership also unlocks more than 80 other author tools in the Patron Toolbox. AI tool use draws from your membership's credit balance, and the amount used varies with the request.
