Spend less time searching for the right words and more time looking forward to your next reader conversation.

Your manuscript stays private. Author Media never stores or views it, and the AI companies do not train on it.

Make the appeal easier to put into words.

You can talk about your book without retelling every turn of the plot. Give readers a sense of the experience you are inviting them into.

  • Find a direction when the book crosses genres

    You can stop apologizing for a book that crosses genres. Find a direction for the next conversation about where it belongs.

  • Keep the familiar and the distinctive in view

    Recognizing a trope does not require you to change it. Decide which patterns help explain your story and where your version takes them somewhere different.

Start with the story as it is.

You bring

Upload your fiction manuscript.

Your manuscript stays private. Author Media never stores or views it, and the AI companies do not train on it.

You get

An analysis of your novel’s tropes and genre fit to help you shape its pitch.

You decide how to position your book. Check any factual claims before using them in your marketing. This is not a verdict on originality, quality, or sales potential.

Before you start

Does finding tropes mean my novel is unoriginal?

No. A familiar pattern can be part of what a reader enjoys. You decide how that pattern serves your story and whether it belongs in the way you describe the book.

Will it tell me the one correct genre?

You can be confident about a story that crosses genres without insisting that only one label fits. You decide how to position your novel for the readers you want to reach.

What can I do with the analysis?

Walk into your next pitch or cover conversation ready to talk about the reading experience you want to offer. When you are ready for the next step, turn to Book to Blurb for your book description or Comp Finder for comparison research.

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.
