Quotable Quote Finder: Your book already holds its best line.
You wrote every sentence, so none of them surprise you anymore. Now launch week wants posts, graphics, and a trailer, and you cannot tell which of your own lines is worth sharing. Picture the relief of spotting the line readers will screenshot and quote back to you, and finding out it was yours all along.
Included with membership at $10/month or more.

Your own words do the selling, so sharing them feels like showing your work and not like advertising. Check each line against your manuscript before it goes out, the way you would check a cover proof.
Your manuscript stays private. Author Media never stores or views it, and the AI companies do not train on it.
What changes
Find the lines readers will share in your own book
Rereading a whole manuscript hunting for one good line is not a good use of your week. Here is what gets lighter when you do not have to.
Launch week stops feeling like a content treadmill
You stop opening a blank post and wondering what to say. A month of social posts, quote graphics, and teaser emails can start from lines that are already yours.
Your own book surprises you again
After the third revision, every sentence looks ordinary. You get a fresh look through a reader's eyes, and the reminder that you wrote some lines worth repeating.
Your best sentence stops hiding
Most authors quote their opening pages because that is what they remember best. Your sharpest line may sit in a chapter you have not reread in months, and it deserves a graphic too.
You post without a flinch
A misquote from your own novel is the kind of mistake readers notice and screenshot. You can check each line against your own file in seconds, so what goes on a graphic is what is on your page.
You wrote it. That is why you cannot see it.
It is eleven at night, two weeks before launch. You have a graphics template open and your manuscript beside it, and you have scrolled through chapter one three times. Everything you read sounds like something you already know. You pick the first decent sentence because you are tired, and you wonder if there was a better one you walked right past.
Use it to market your book at every turn
Your book earns attention long after launch day. Find the moment that sounds like yours.
Six weeks before launch
Build a month of social media posts from a single manuscript. Fill a batch of quote graphics for Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest. Then spend launch week with your readers instead of with a content calendar.
The week your trailer comes together
Pick the voice-over lines for a book trailer or a teaser video, and hear your own words sound like a movie.
When your launch team asks what to share
Hand your launch team a list of shareable lines so they do not have to hunt for their own. Assemble a graphics pack for your street team or ARC readers.
The afternoon your Amazon page needs polish
Choose a pull quote for your Amazon A+ content or your book's detail page, so a browsing reader can tell whether your story is for them.
While the cover is still open
Give your cover designer a candidate line for the front or back cover. Source the line that goes on a bookmark, poster, tote bag, or conference banner.
The Sunday before your newsletter goes out
Find a teaser line for your newsletter that makes subscribers want the next chapter.
Before a signing, an interview, or a book club
Pick passages to read aloud at a signing, a podcast interview, or a live event. Put a strong opening quote at the top of your book club discussion guide.
When your own book feels ordinary
Find the humor in your own book that you stopped noticing after the third revision. See which chapters carry your strongest writing before you commit to sample chapters.
When the next book or the audiobook begins
Pull a line for the epigraph of your next book in the series. Show an audiobook narrator how each character actually sounds on the page.

“I loved this for my historical novel. I tried doing it myself several months ago but didn't see anything quotable. for me also, this is affirming.”

Find quotable lines in your manuscript
You bring
Your manuscript, full or partial. The chapters you have are enough to start.
Your manuscript stays private. Author Media never stores or views it, and the AI companies do not train on it.
You get
Shareable lines from your book, sorted by the marketing job they do, each with the chapter it comes from, who says it, and a short note on why it works.
It finds lines that are already in your book and never writes new ones. It aims to copy each line exactly as you wrote it and does not always manage it, so check every line against your file before it goes on a graphic. It is built with novels in mind, so expect the most from stories with dialogue and characters. It does not design the graphics or post for you. Keep chatting to ask for more of a certain kind of line.
Questions authors ask about quotes from their books
What is Quotable Quote Finder?+
If you wish your book could market itself, Quotable Quote Finder is made for you. Thomas Umstattd Jr. built this AI tool so you can share the best lines from your manuscript in social posts, graphics, and trailers.
How do I find good quotes from my own book?+
It is hard to spot them yourself, because you know every sentence too well. Most authors reach for their opening pages by default. With Quotable Quote Finder, you choose between strong lines from your own manuscript instead of hunting for them.
What is a pull quote?+
You have probably seen one without knowing its name. A pull quote is a short, striking line lifted from your text and shown on its own, on a graphic, an Amazon page, or a poster. Readers share sentences more readily than summaries.
What quotes from my book should I share on social media?+
Share the lines that make a stranger curious, laugh, or feel something. A funny line often gets shared without any prompting from you, and a line in your hero's voice is a good way to introduce them to readers who have never met them. You pick the ones that sound like your book.
Can I make quote graphics from the lines it finds?+
Yes, and it is a satisfying way to use them. You get the line, then drop it into the graphics tool you already use for Instagram, Facebook, or Pinterest. Quotable Quote Finder does not design the graphics for you.
Can I use these quotes in a book trailer or on my Amazon page?+
Yes. The lines are your own words, so you are free to use them anywhere you promote your book, including a trailer, your Amazon page, a bookmark, or a cover.
Are the quotes exactly as I wrote them?+
A wrong quote in public is a real worry, because readers do notice. Quotable Quote Finder aims to copy each line exactly as you wrote it, but it does not always manage it. You can find each line in your own file and check it before it goes on a graphic.
Does it work for nonfiction?+
Many nonfiction authors want shareable lines too, and you can use your manuscript with it. It is built with novels in mind, so expect the most from stories with dialogue and characters, and less from lines about characters if your book has none. Results vary on nonfiction, so treat the first list as a starting point.
Who is Quotable Quote Finder for?+
If you want your book's best lines out in the world, it is for you. Indie and traditionally published authors, novelists and nonfiction authors, and authors launching a book or promoting one already out can all use it. It is not for an author who has no manuscript yet.
Can I use it before my book is published?+
Yes, and it can make the wait before launch more fun. Lines from an unreleased book make teasers and countdown posts easy, so you can start building excitement before launch day.
Can I use it on a partial manuscript?+
Yes, and it is a good way to try it out. You can start with the chapters you have and try it before the full book is ready.
Can I ask for a certain kind of quote?+
Sometimes the first list is close but not quite right. You can keep chatting to ask for funnier lines, lines from one character, or a different mood, or run it again for a fresh batch.
Will sharing these quotes spoil my book?+
It is smart to worry about spoilers, because the tool cannot know which twists you are protecting. Read each line with your ending in mind, and ask for different ones if a line gives too much away.
Does it write new quotes or taglines for me?+
No. It only finds words that are already in your book, so everything you share is really yours. If you want new copy about you and your books, Tagline Brainstormer writes author taglines.
Can I use it for every book in my series?+
Yes. Run each book on its own whenever a launch or a sale comes around, so you do not have to reread an older book to find something to share.
Is my manuscript private?+
Yes. Author Media does not store, track, or view anything you post to this tool. 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.
How much does it cost?+
Quotable Quote Finder 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.
