Fiction editing software with genre-aware manuscript analysis
AutoCrit is an editing tool for fiction authors. Upload a manuscript and it reports on pacing, dialogue, repetition, cliches, sentence variation, strong verbs and word choice, then compares your text with published books in your genre. That genre comparison is the distinctive part: rather than applying one generic standard, it benchmarks against mystery, romance, fantasy or thriller norms and flags where your manuscript diverges. It also offers targeted searches for specific problems such as overused adverbs, and an AI-assisted rewrite for individual passages. It analyses finished drafts rather than helping you compose them.
