Bestseller analysis

Name bestsellers from your genre. Your concept gets stronger.

Add up to three bestsellers in your genre. Bookfairy reads their public details, learns what readers love and miss, and builds an original concept for your book.

  1. You provide

    • Your idea in a few sentences
    • 1 to 3 bestsellers via ASIN or Amazon link
    • Audience and tone, if you already know them
  2. What we analyse

    • Title and subtitle: genre and promise
    • Book description: topics and reader expectations
    • Look inside: the opening pages, up to 6, for goal, tone, style and audience
    • Reviews of the first bestseller: what readers love and miss
  3. What you get

    • A concept of 300 to 500 words
    • Goal, tone, style, audience and 3 to 5 core topics
    • Research, outline and every chapter grow from it
  • Your idea comes firstIf there is a conflict, what you wanted always wins.
  • An original workTitles, ASINs and author names of the bestsellers stay out of the concept, every sentence is written fresh.
  • Already in the free runThe analysis already runs for your outline and chapter 1.

Write the whole book

One idea becomes a whole book.

Self-help, non-fiction, a novel, thriller, crime, fantasy, romance or a biography, in English, German, Italian, French or Spanish: describe it in a few sentences or simply talk into the microphone. Bookfairy plans the whole book first. Non-fiction gets research, checklists, tables and a list of sources. Novels get characters, settings and a plot that holds together from chapter 1 to the end, in the style of a bestseller you name if you like. Every book gets an editing pass.

AI chat or Bookfairy

Why not just let an AI chat write the book?

A chat window gives you text. A book needs more: length, a common thread, checked facts and, at the end, files a store will accept.

What it is aboutIn a general AI chatWith Bookfairy
PlanningYou work out readers, structure and tone yourself, prompt by prompt.Plans the whole book first: readers, research, concept, outline and style, before chapter 1 is written.
LengthAnswers in sections. For 60,000 words you prompt every chapter yourself and stitch it all together.Writes every chapter to the end in one run, up to 100,000 words.
Common threadYou keep structure, terms and examples consistent across dozens of replies yourself.Every chapter builds on the same concept, outline and style, so terms and examples stay consistent.
Facts and sourcesYou check numbers and sources yourself.Researches on the web before writing, checks facts and adds a list of sources.
ProofreadingYou hunt for repetition, contradictions and typos yourself.Every book gets an editing pass before you receive it: repetition, contradictions, spelling and grammar.
Finished bookIn the end you have text, but no cover, no typesetting and no EPUB.In the same project: full cover with front, spine, back and barcode, typesetting, EPUB, title ideas, description, keywords and categories.

Cover, typesetting, EPUB, title ideas, description, keywords, categories and in-depth editing are separate tools. The complete bundle includes all of them.

Editing

Editing that thinks along. Sense, logic, facts.

For your own manuscript or the book from Bookfairy. Every change is marked, and a note in the margin says why. You decide. The first 3,000 words are free. What gets checked:

  • Spelling and punctuation
  • Grammar and missing words
  • Repetition
  • Style, with two suggestions to choose from
  • Sense and clarity
  • Logic and contradictions: names, ages, places, timeline
  • Facts, anything doubtful checked with a web search
  • Final proofread across all changes
  • 3 to 5 test readers from your target audience

Questions

Quick answers.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. With a free account, every tool first shows you a preview from your own book: three cover drafts, the outline and chapter 1, the first 3,000 edited words, the first 10 typeset pages, 5 of 50 keywords.

You only pay to unlock the full result.

Is there a subscription?

Yes, but you don't need one. Every tool has a one-off price per book. If you make books regularly, the subscription gives you tokens every month and, depending on the plan, a discount on every tool.

Why do you price by words and not by pages?

Pages only exist after typesetting and depend on trim size, font and spacing.

Words are fixed. That is why longer books are priced in three tiers: S up to 30,000 words, M up to 60,000 and L up to 100,000.

Does the editing replace a traditional edit?

Yes. It checks your entire manuscript, not just spelling: grammar, style, sense and logic, and facts and sources, plus a final proofread.

Every change shows up in a track-changes view where you accept or reject it. For 60,000 words you pay $82.80690 tokens instead of $1,200 to $1,920 for a freelance copy edit alone at Reedsy's 2026 rates.

Who owns the results?

Your manuscript and your inputs stay yours. You may use the results in your own book projects without time limit.

We do not use your texts to train AI unless you explicitly agree, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Is AI involved?

Yes. Several tools use AI models, and we label them in the app as the EU AI Act requires.

Results are suggestions that you check before publishing. More on the AI transparency page.
