Sneak peek: AI narrative analysis for fiction authors

I don't know about you, but earlier in my writing journey I was quick to be defensive when it came to copyeditor feedback. While sometimes that knee-jerk reaction was warranted to preserve my story voice, in hindsight it was also a glimpse into my insecurities as a new writer. And then when you add the inconsistent feedback from multiple folks in the business, well it kind of compounds the frustration, doesn't it?

Honestly, I really wish I had Bookshaper back then, because it provides solid feedback, while taking 100% of the emotion out of the process and eliminating the oh-so dreaded copyeditor subjectivity. Don't get me wrong, finding a great copyeditor is in itself invaluable, but it's not an easy thing to do.
