Your book reads like AI wrote it.

Upload your manuscript and we'll measure it against how published human novels actually read — and show you exactly what cleaning it up would do. The assessment is free.

.docx or .txt · at least 15,000 words. We measure against full-novel baselines, so an excerpt can't be scored fairly.

Why it reads like AI

Not because the words are wrong — because the same handful of constructions keep showing up. Repeated sentence openings. Three-part lists. Not this, but that cadences. Body-language beats on repeat. Human novelists use all of them — just far, far less often.

How it works

  1. Upload. We take your manuscript and run two assessments: a word-usage pass over the whole book, and a pattern-usage pass on several large samples from across it.
  2. We measure. We measure the phrases you over-use — setting aside your own capitalized names and places, so your world doesn't count against you — and how often AI-style word combinations like “the corner of” repeat past what a human writer in your genre would. We also measure the AI patterns you over-use, each compared against real human novels in your genre. The pattern read is real analysis, not a keyword scan — so your report takes a little while, usually within 20 minutes. Watch it arrive, or wait for our email.
  3. Your report. How many AI patterns your manuscript carries and which ones dominate, how many phrases you over-use, and how much shorter the final manuscript gets once they're cleaned. Real numbers from your own pages.
  4. The full clean. Click Clean my book and we fix those AI-isms. We hand your own formatted manuscript back with every AI pattern already deleted as tracked changes in Word — restore any with one click — and every over-used phrase highlighted, not deleted, for you to reword or keep.

What this is not

It isn't a ghostwriter and it isn't a copy editor. It doesn't check grammar, continuity, or whether your plot works. It does one thing: finds the structural patterns that make prose read as machine-generated — the repetition you can't feel across 90,000 words, but your readers can.

And it measures instead of guessing. No "AI detector" verdict, no percentage of doom — a count of specific, named patterns, against a measured human baseline.
