We’re authors. We built the tool we wished we’d had a decade ago.
Founded by 110+ bestselling authors, Authors A.I. exists because Marlowe — our developmental-feedback AI — is the kind of author resource our founders needed years before it existed.
Three years before ChatGPT, we bet on AI for authors.
We started in 2020 — a company built by authors, for authors, looking for more control over our own careers. AI was central to that from day one: put real analytical power into writers’ hands, at a price an indie author could actually afford.
We built Marlowe with Matthew Jockers, PhD, co-author of The Bestseller Code and one of the leading data scientists working in long-form fiction and machine learning.
Ethics and IP protection were the starting point, not an afterthought.
Marlowe was trained on a rights-cleared corpus of legally obtained novels — it does not train on your manuscript. Your work stays encrypted, and you can delete your data at any time. We’ve published a full ethics statement laying out where we stand on AI in publishing, and we built Marlowe to support authors’ IP rights, not erode them.
Where we’ve been
A short history of the company, for anyone deciding whether to trust us with their manuscript.
