Enjoy Developmental Feedback with the
Story Analyzer

Your attentive, on-demand beta reader.

Gain unprecedented insight into your book's narrative with the Story Analyzer. Break it down chapter by chapter, or enjoy an overview of how your entire story holds up.

Save yourself from hours spent waiting for feedback and tracking down plot problems, with your own automated beta reader right at hand.

With just a click, receive developmental feedback on your story's timeline, characters, conflicts, plot progression, potential contradictions, foreshadowing and more.

Are there lingering questions your story hasn't answered? Plot threads unresolved? Stretches where nothing important seems to happen? Experience it all from an objective reader's point of view, so nothing gets in the way of the thrilling experience you intend to deliver.

Unlock Your Book’s Brilliance with World-Class Tools

Taking a massive leap beyond the basics of spelling & grammar, AutoCrit isn't just built for writers... it's made for storytellers like you.

Ferret out the fluff and take your manuscript from hard-to-read to clean-and-crisp. From adverbs and filler words all the way to exactly how you start your sentences, AutoCrit’s interactive editor helps you eradicate problems and tighten your prose faster than ever.

 

Nothing pulls us into a story faster than when characters start talking, yet writers often fall foul of relying on overblown dialogue tags and unnecessary adverbs instead of the raw emotion of their characters. AutoCrit quickly makes clear where you can give your dialogue added depth and punch by removing these crutches.

Forge better storytelling by quickly finding opportunities to write more precise descriptions, “show” instead of “tell,” maintain active voice, avoid clichés, and steer clear of mind-numbing repetition.

Your editor, agent, publisher and readers will all thank you!

Only at AutoCrit: Gain an extra layer of confidence in your work by directly comparing your manuscript with one of a wide range of famous authors. Want to write like Tom Clancy, Stephen King, Lee Child or Karin Slaughter? With the click of a button, you’ll get fully customized editing guidance that shows you exactly how your chosen mentor might tackle your manuscript – right down to the individual word level.

Not a Planner? Not a Problem!

Extreme insights for those who like to wing it.

Not everyone likes to plan and outline before they jump into a new story idea, but being a so-called "pantser" does come with its own set of editorial challenges and potential overwhelm.

Well, it used to. Because now, with AutoCrit's unique Backwards Blueprint, even the most dedicated panster can enjoy a full, 360-degree "reader's eye" view of their manuscript.

From world-building elements to character archetypes, storytelling tropes, and more, you're given an objective view of what's on the page, helping cover those blind spots and detect details you thought were clear, but aren't really.

It can even map your story's flow neatly into a beat sheet, essentially outlining in reverse!

Create your Story Bible with just a few clicks (ideal for series writers!) and gain insights that help answer crucial core questions for any storyteller.

• Does your story’s premise stand out strong and proud?
• Does the story land within your intended genre category?
• What kind of common tropes emerge within your narrative… and do you want them there?
• Are your characters behaving in the archetypal manner that you first intended for them?

With the combined power of the Story Analyzer and Backwards Blueprint, you can dig deeper and squeeze every ounce of promise from any kind of story you can imagine.

Finally, you can pants your way through... without getting caught with your pants down.

Analyze and Edit Your Books to Proven Standards​​

See how you stack up against some of the greats in key areas like adverbs, repeated words, dialogue, etc.​​

Deeper Awareness of Your Strengths and Weaknesses

Forget editing platforms that rely solely on "best practice" guidance. Zero in on YOUR audience with specific direction that matches genre expectations.

Using data from a gargantuan range of bestselling books, the AutoCrit platform understands the nuances of genre like no other manuscript editing software does—and helps you forge tighter writing that rivals the best in the market.

It's completely author-friendly, meaning no changes are forced. You're 100% free to find the perfect balance between outside guidance and your own unique voice.

All comparisons are driven by raw linguistic data, not generative AI—so you benefit from the results of painstaking real-world research, not some soulless computer brain trying to write for you.

Compare Your Style with 100+ Author and Genre Profiles

Would John Grisham, Lee Child, Tom Clancy, Stephen King, or Diana Gabaldon choose the same words you do? AutoCrit lets you know, right there in your manuscript!

Choose to be guided by a specific author's touch, or broaden the playing field by choosing a genre instead. And, if you prefer, the option is always there to switch to basic "best practice" and forge your own path entirely.

With additional genres and celebrity authors added regularly, AutoCrit is the ultimate destination for truly professional editing, done your way.

All profiles and comparisons are based on raw linguistic data, not generative AI – so you're getting the results of painstaking research, not some iffy computer brain trying to write for you.

Some things demand a human perspective. Enjoy a personal touch throughout your journey from idea to publication.

Got Questions?

Here's everything you need know about AutoCrit Pro

AutoCrit is specifically designed for authors who want to cut down the time and stress involved in producing a professionally edited manuscript, without compromising on the quality of their work or their creative vision. Writers of all levels of experience are welcome here, as both the software and our live clubs and events help build and guide stronger technique and storytelling prowess across the board.

For the best possible user experience, AutoCrit includes a full suite of guides and explanations to help you interpret each analysis, plus advice on best practices for self-editing. If you need a hand, our team will be more than happy to hop on a call and help you through. Your success is, after all, our success.

AutoCrit is an online web-based platform. Although the site and tools are optimized for mobile viewing, we recommend using a desktop or laptop PC/Mac for the best experience.

There’s no separate app, but AutoCrit Pro now offers offline mode! You can now write on your projects during offline mode. However, tools such as the Story Builder, Story Analyzer, and Backwards Blueprint will need to wait until you are connected to the internet once again. 

You can, however, choose to print or save your editing reports with highlights included, so you can complete your tweaks the old-fashioned way when you’re on the road.

Absolutely not. AutoCrit produces recommendations based on style guidelines and trends in published fiction and non-fiction, but you’re always in control as the author. There are no hard rights or wrongs, here, so simply ignore any recommendation that doesn’t work for you.

Yes! When you revise your draft with AutoCrit first, you’ll give your editor a much cleaner manuscript. That means they can stop focusing on nitty-gritty details like how many adverbs you’ve used (almost always too many) and start looking at the bigger picture of the story itself… so your book knocks it out of the park on every level.

We love human editors (in fact, quite a few use our software!), so it’s our goal to make sure you have the best, most rewarding experience working together.

Yes. All our users’ projects are stored on 100% secure servers. Your work will never be shared with or accessed by anyone except you, unless permission is expressly granted by you for the purposes of support only.

AutoCrit uses generative AI inside the Inspiration Studio, Story Builder, and Story Analyzer to provide contextual feedback and foster new creative ideas. 

These tools are completely optional and different to how the editing side of the platform operates. All editing reports are based on algorithmic, simple data sets, with no generative AI involved.

AutoCrit’s use of AI is purely assistive. As it stands, the software will not write for you. If you’re looking for a program that will take a basic idea and then produce chapters of prose on your behalf, we’re afraid AutoCrit won’t be the right fit.

Absolutely not. Any generative AI used is output only. Nothing is ever fed back into the AI’s knowledge base nor used to train it for future responses.

All of your data is 100% secure with AutoCrit. We’re all writers, and we’re as protective of our members’ work as we are of our own.

Not at all. As an AutoCrit Pro member, you have unlimited access to all of the platform’s software tools, including AI analysis. Unlike ProWritingAid, we don’t limit your usage or ask you to pay more to analyze your work multiple times.

AutoCrit is an online manuscript editing tool that gives fiction and non-fiction writers the power to quickly and effectively self-edit their work anytime, anywhere.
