Pick the right tool for the question you're asking
A verdict — would a real agent rep this?
Use The Literary Literary Agent's Read. No other tool commits to a literal call — Pass, Request, Offering Representation, Auction Material — and explains it the way an agent would in the inbox. Pair it with a query letter score, synopsis and comp analysis, imprint targets, and an agent's note. It is an AI simulation and not a substitute for actual representation, but it answers the gatekeeper question directly.
Line-level prose analytics across a 90k-word draft
Use ProWritingAid or AutoCrit. Both surface per-sentence reports — adverbs, pacing graphs, repeated words, dialogue tags — and integrate directly with Word, Google Docs, and Scrivener. The Literary Literary Agent's Read gives you a holistic agent-side judgment, not a sentence-by-sentence editor pass. Many writers use both: PWA / AutoCrit for the line edit, The Literary Literary Agent's Read for the submissions read.
A developmental report on craft — pacing, plot, prose health
Marlowe (Authors A.I.) or Galleys is a strong fit. Both run developmental-editor-style passes across the whole manuscript. The Literary Literary Agent's Read overlaps on craft scoring but is built around the agent's question — does this sell? — rather than the editor's. The two are complementary.
