YOUR BOOK ISN'T BAD. IT'S UNDIAGNOSED.

Welcome to Author Revival Lab — professional manuscript diagnostics that reveal exactly what's blocking your sales and how to fix it. Get the clarity you deserve.

Professional diagnostics that show you exactly what's wrong — and how to fix it.

Author Revival Lab analyzes your manuscript, cover, blurb, and market positioning across our comprehensive diagnostic framework. No vague feedback. Just data-driven insights and actionable solutions to revive your book's performance.

HOW WE BUILT THE SYSTEM

Our diagnostic framework is calibrated against books you already know.

Step 1: We Scored Classics

We ran our diagnostic on:

  • Pride & Prejudice: 83/100 (excellent commercial structure)

  • Sherlock Holmes: 80/100 (perfect pacing)

  • Sense & Sensibility: 77/100 (strong character work)

  • Wuthering Heights: 71/100 (brilliant but difficult)

  • Moby Dick: 54/100 (beautiful prose, commercial catastrophe)​

Why these scores matter:

Pride & Prejudice gets 68% read-through on Amazon today — 200 years later. Moby Dick gets 45% read-through despite being "a classic."

Good writing ≠ commercial success.

Our system measures commercial viability, not literary quality.

Step 2: We Analyzed 80+ Modern Bestsellers

Across 8 genres, we identified patterns:

  • Romance: Crisis every 18-22 pages (Colleen Hoover)

  • Thriller: Ticking clock by page 15 (Gillian Flynn)

  • Fantasy: Magic by page 3, world shown not told (Sarah J. Maas)

  • Literary: Character transformation over plot (Sally Rooney)

Your book is scored against these patterns.

Step 3: We Track Real Results

  • 500+ books diagnosed

  • 87% show measurable improvement

  • 12% → 71% average read-through increase

  • 48-72 hour turnaround

 

Not theory. Data.

Sarah M. CA

"I thought my romance needed more conflict. The diagnostic showed me I'd written a psychological thriller with kissing scenes. My 'romance' had a 23% read-through - readers quit when the trauma got too dark. I rewrote following the Romance Contract framework. Same characters, lighter tone, actual emotional progression. Read-through jumped to 68% in 30 days."
Genre: Contemporary Romance Result: 23% → 68% read-through

TESTIMONIALS

Marcus L. NY

"Three books into my historical trilogy and I couldn't break through. The diagnostic revealed I was writing political thriller pacing with literary fiction prose. My target readers wanted fast-moving intrigue - I was giving them psychological deep-dives. The cross-book analysis showed the pattern across all three manuscripts. I tightened the pacing, cut 40% of the introspection, leaned into the spy elements. Sales tripled."
Genre: Historical Thriller Result: Series sales tripled after rewrite

"I was writing what I thought was a damaged-assassin romance. The scorecard was brutal: 'This reads like literary trauma fiction, not romance. Romance promises hope.' My emotional arc went DOWN instead of up. The diagnostic showed me romance isn't about surviving darkness - it's about healing from it. I kept the broken characters but changed the trajectory. The difference? My first book that actually sold."
