I was one of the early readers and fans of The Bestseller Code, so I was familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence and the comparative power of its critique. It didn’t worry me, but I did see it as a bit of a challenge. Would the intelligence really see my character’s personalities? Would it be able to tell the narrative beats and pacing of my writing? I submitted my manuscript to Marlowe, then scoffed over the likelihood of accuracy while downing a soda and watching the clock. Fourteen minutes later, I received her report.

Right there, in a peek of purple, the moment my heroine confronted my hero. And there, in another plot arc, the climax! I turned the pages faster, torn between seeing everything and reading all of the detail. I poured over the character charts, pleased to see that each of my characters were distinct and varied. I winced over the profanity counter and almost came out of my seat at the adverb and adjective lists. As it turns out, I really like to use the word really. Ugh! I wish I’d run this report before I published a book that contained it 71 times!
I have to say that the dialogue percentage was one of the things I found most interesting, and one I want to compare my other novels to. In fact, I’m dying to run all of my books past Marlowe, especially my weaker novels – and see what shortcomings Marlowe is able to pinpoint in them.
With my work-in-progress, I’m going to test the A.I. technology with my early drafts and let her do some of the heavy lifting before my editors come in. Hopefully, Marlowe can save me a round or two with them.
