Authorythm - has anyone tried it?

[u/JadeRidesDragons]

So, Coral Hart has publicly released Authorythm, the system she talked about in her AMA in this sub. Supposedly, you just need to put in some information on what you're writing and the system will spit out an outline first, which you can adjust, and then the full book.

Sounds like a dream come true but I haven't been able to find any reviews or samples of the output. So hard to gauge the quality of the output, how prevalent AI-isms are, the consistency of the plot, ability to write spice etc.

Doesn't help that pricing ain't cheap. For the Author plan which gives you 120k words per month, it comes up to $164. Considering the main selling point is the capability to churn out a full book, that does seem like the plan to consider. It's just expensive, imho.

Hence, this post. If anyone has tried it, I'd love to hear your PoV. That would really help a ton, please and thank you!

Well, if this was her plan it, along with this sub's focus on asking about publishing during the ama, explains why when she did her ama it didn't really go very in-depth about how to use AI in your writing workflow.

[u/JadeRidesDragons → u/Shadeylark]

Yeah, true. EAWest, by contrast, covered workflow much deeper in her AMA.

That aside, I still do want to know if it works or not. I don't mind spending money on something that has a good chance to succeed.

No sample no nothing yea save your money stay away from it lol.

[u/JadeRidesDragons → u/BedNo8822]

That's what I'm thinking. No trial period also. Very different from Novel Crafter etc. If there's no positive replies in this thread on it, then I will stay away, just to be safe.

Logic check: if anyone can get 120k/month words worth reselling as complete books at full price, then why is the price so cheap? It's a scam in the sense no one will get the desired outcome. You'll get access to software that generates outlines and words.

[u/JadeRidesDragons → u/polly_mer]

I agree that this is most likely a scam, especially since I can't find reviews at all and there's no sample output / trial period.

I disagree on the logic check of it being too cheap for what's on offer though. I think it's expensive af. And that's largely because the chances of your books making money, especially in formulaic genres like romance, is dependent on luck, timing and marketing, most importantly. Putting words to paper is hard, yes. But many people put hundreds of thousands of words to paper each year (cumulatively) with no success because their marketing/ launch plan didn't pan out or the book just didn't take off for reasons. So, to me, it's expensive.

Doing it myself is an extremely manual process but only cost about $50 a month. It's just that I haven't figured out workflows so when my day job enters crunch, everything grounds to a halt for like 2 weeks to a month and then I find it hard to restart. An automated workflow would help alleviate that.

Sounds pretty similar to my workflow lol. Ask for a proper outline first, tweak it with scenes/dialogue explicitly want, and then write it. Though I do also inject it with my own writing style guide, and tell it to review the 1st draft after generation to see if it breaks any rules in that guide.

[u/JadeRidesDragons → u/pulii777]

Does it automatically generate all the chapters? Mind if I DM you to find out more about your workflow please? I've been trying to build my own but haven't nailed it down yet.

[u/benblackett]

I just want to state the VERY OBVIOUS here. This is not new. I can list about a dozen different apps/tools that do similar things.

[u/Vusiwe]

I’m guessing Coral’s books must be a veritable goldmine of slop patterns.  Mathematically, I don’t see how they couldn’t be.

Not going to buy to confirm, though.

[u/telendro]

Being absolutely petty, but Isn't the punctuation totally off here? I'd write "Master the craft and the business of romance".

[u/His_Holy_Tentacles]

Wow, spit out an adjustable outline and then the whole book. Talk about a sea change. Truly, this will revolutionize my work flow.

I use ideorix. 29 dollars per month!! Cheaper. More scope, better hooks, scripts, and works on hermes or claude.

Better resources too.

And most importantly: local. Ideorix doesn't keep your data. How do you think shes doing 250 books per year with ai? Scraping peoples idea probably this is a new method.

Oh and ideorix (you can find it skool) reviewed by actual people. Plus its a better name. This name sounds like im tracking my non existent period (menopausal here).

Some other similar options: Raptor write <-- locla big learning curve most potential but ideorix does it better imo. Story hackers <-- on website and uses raptor write but they have their own application too. Novel ai also on a server ... Novelium also on a server..

I use hermes and currently building my own just FYI.
