Books & Biz Author Tools

Get the three big calls right — before you write the book

What to write, how your blurb reads, whether your cover works, whether your draft holds up. Four data-backed tools, one login, honest answers. Your first report is free.

No subscription  ·  credits never expire  ·  every genre

A book is a hundred hours. Most of the risk is decided before page one.

The premise, the blurb, the cover — those three calls decide whether a book finds readers, and the best writing in the world won’t rescue them if they’re wrong. Books & Biz Author Tools give you a clear, data-backed read on all three, while there’s still time to change course.

Four tools

Pick the question you need answered

Each tool returns a single, scannable report — on screen and as a PDF. Spend a credit, get an answer.

  • Designer-ready fix direction

Questions

Good to know

 

What’s a credit?

A credit is what you spend on a report. Buy them in packs and spend them on any tool — a Reader Radar Map is 3 credits, a Blurb Doctor or Cover Signal Check report is 2, and a full Manuscript Critique is 6.

Do credits expire?

Never. Buy a pack today, use the last credit a year from now — it’ll be waiting.

Is there a subscription?

No. You pay only when you use a tool. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel.

Which genres does it cover?

All of them. The tools adapt to your genre and subgenre, from dark romance to cozy mystery to prescriptive nonfiction.

How current is the market data?

Reader Radar Maps are refreshed every month, and every Map is dated so you always know how fresh it is.

Can I use it for all my pen names?

Yes. One account and one credit balance cover everything you write.
