I have three stories on my computer, so I analysed all of them. First time round, I got James Joyce (which I triple-checked, feeding it more each time). Second time round, I got Dan Brown. Third time, Ian Fleming. :blink: I'm befuddled.

I took a few Paragraphs from his Website.
his is why you don’t query agents until your book is ready, of course. But I know it happens. I queried a few agents with my first novel then freaked out because what if they wanted to see it? I think I did lightning rewrites every time someone responded.

I see two issues. The first is: Are you damaging your chances if you don’t respond to an agent immediately? If we were talking about American agents, I’d say, “Maybe.” Most reputable American agents receive more queries than they can remember, and might not notice whether it’s been two weeks or two months since they asked to see yours. But they might.

For an Australian agent I’d say, “Probably.” They deal with far fewer writers and are more likely to wonder what’s going on.

But either way, I’d send them that manuscript. Agents want reliable clients, and if the first thing you do is delay, they’ll worry you are one of those writers who are forever six months away from finishing their next book. For this reason you should not reply with some pathetic story about how you thought your book was ready but now you think about it can you please have a few more months. Don’t do that.

You are worried that your book could be better; well, it probably could. They all could. Do you think yours has little flaws or big ones? If they’re minor, they’re unlikely to dissuade an editor who otherwise loves your work, and if they’re major, you’re dead no matter what: dead if you send in that piece of crap, dead if you wait for two months only to discover from this editing service that you need to spend six more on rewrites.


And got Kurt Vonnegut.

remember she pioneered the "sexy vampire" cliche...

Also, I got James Joyce! Either my writing is reflects the soul of the Irish people, or was incomprehensible as Finnegan's Wake

And Chuck Palanuik is not a horror writer!

First time: I put in a shorter RP entry, and it said I wrote like William Gibson. I don't know who William Gibson is.

Second Time: I put in a much longer entry, and it said I wrote like Dan Brown. Having never read one of Dan Brown's books, I'm not sure if that's a good thing, as a writing style (as opposed to his historical accuracy, which I understand is dreadful).

Third Time: I put in a fairly long RP, with the result being that I apparently write like Isaac Asimov. Cool. I'm waiting until it says Terry Pratchett, though.

Fourth Time: Isaac Asimov.

It says Nabokov, Lovecraft, Asimov, and some David Foster Wallace thrice.

Apparently I'm very versatile.


From what I gathered Wallace seems quite interesting.
