Clear story feedback in under 15 minutes
You’ve finished your draft, but knowing what to revise next is the hard part. Most feedback is either too vague, too slow, or too expensive to help when you actually need it.
What authors usually run into
- Beta readers give inconsistent or surface-level notes
- Developmental editors can cost thousands
- It’s hard to tell which fixes to prioritize
- Pacing, structure, or character issues can be easy to miss
What Marlowe helps you see
- Where your story gains momentum and where it drags
- Which characters may need more clarity or depth
- How your plot turns, pacing, and dialogue are working
- What to revise first for the biggest impact
Why we built Marlowe for fiction authors
Our team of bestselling authors and data scientists built and released the first version of Marlowe in 2020. Marlowe 3.0 continues to keep writers at the center of the creative process with powerful, actionable developmental feedback.
Marlowe helps you revise without replacing your voice
Marlowe was built specifically for fiction authors who want clear developmental feedback on what’s working, what needs attention, and where to focus next while staying fully in control of the writing. Marlowe:
- Analyzes your manuscript — it doesn’t write your novel
- Specializes in long-form fiction (at least 20,000 words)
- Helps you revise with more clarity and confidence
- Keeps you in full creative control
