About Authors A.I.
A company for authors, by authors
Authors A.I.’s Marlowe Pro reads and analyzes the draft of your novel to provide developmental feedback. It does not generate or rewrite text.
We’re a company founded in 2020 by 110 bestselling authors looking for greater autonomy over our careers. A large part of that vision centered on AI – specifically, putting the power of AI into the hands of fellow authors at an affordable rate to help them write unputdownable books and gain large readerships.
Mind you, this was about three years before ChatGPT came onto the scene. So clearly we were on to something big. During that period, we worked with some of the leading data scientists in the field of long-form fiction and machine learning — including Matthew Jockers, PhD, co-author of The Bestseller Code and one of our co-founders — to create our proprietary AI.
Marlowe, our best-of-breed algorithm, was trained on a rights-cleared corpus of legally obtained novels and does not train on your manuscripts. Your work stays private, fully encrypted, and you can delete your data any time. We did this ethically from day one—nearly three years before ChatGPT even existed.
Supporting ethical uses of AI in publishing
Since those early days, we’ve refined Marlowe to make it even more indispensable to authors during the drafting and rewrite stages. Along the way, we’ve taken a strong stance to support authors’ IP rights and to lay out our vision on the ethical uses of AI in publishing. And now, with Marlowe 3.0, we’ve created an Author Dashboard for any writer who wants to take their author career to the next level.
Your Author Dashboard is the place where Marlowe provides feedback on every aspect of your manuscript, including its plot, characters, story arc, pacing, conflict, narrative drive, theme, author voice, and much, much more. Marlowe Basic is free and provides useful feedback on cliches, explicit language, repetitive phrases, misspellings, etc., while our Marlowe Pro reports (under $5 per report) go into greater depth to help you elevate your craft.
And maybe hit the bestseller list.
Marlowe 3.0 and the Author Dashboard are just the beginning — we have even greater things to unveil in the coming months. Let us know which features you’d like to see to help you advance your author career!
