AutoCrit
Online manuscript editor and story analysis for book authors
What is AutoCrit?
AutoCrit is a web-based platform where fiction and non-fiction authors plan, write and self-edit a manuscript. Its editing reports compare a draft with published books in a chosen genre and flag pacing, dialogue, repetition and word-choice problems, and the Pro membership adds story-level analysis, AI alpha and beta readers, idea generation, book formatting and a private author community. A Free Forever account covers the writing platform and a few of the editing tools.
AutoCrit has a free plan. Paid plans start at $15 per month, billed annually. See every plan
Good for

Worth knowing

- It is web-based only. The site works on phones, but AutoCrit recommends a desktop or laptop for editing.
- Monthly subscriptions are not refundable. Annual plans can be refunded within 60 days, prorated at $30 a month.
- The editing reports are algorithmic; generative AI is used only in the optional Inspiration Studio.
Key features
- Line editing reports
- More than 25 interactive reports cover pacing, dialogue, strong writing, word choice, repetition and readability, with a spelling and grammar checker.
- Genre comparison
- Guided editing compares a manuscript with published work in a chosen fiction or non-fiction genre and gives a summary score to track edits against.
- Story Analyzer+
- Reviews a whole book for character arcs, conflict, timeline, contradictory events, foreshadowing and story beats, and can analyze a full series.
- Alpha and beta readers
- Automated readers give impressions of a draft from a reader's point of view, from 20+ ready-made reader avatars or a custom-built one.
- Story Builder and Inspiration Studio
- Story Builder holds the premise, world-building, characters and beat sheets. Inspiration Studio uses generative AI to suggest ideas when a story stalls.
- Formatting and export
- Formatting tools set margins, fonts, trim size and front matter, then export a manuscript to EPUB or a print-ready PDF.
