Literary Agent Steve Laube shared this link on his blog today. Take the Bestseller Test simply by copying and pasting a sample of your work into the box and then choosing the genre. I used one of the books that I’m currently working on to take the test. My score was 19.9 out of 20 for the romance category.
So, try it out! What’s your score?

As Steve pointed out, a computer can’t really determine if writing is great or not, but, doing the activity sure is fun!
This sounds really neat. I have to try it with my WIP (doing the final edits, WHEW!)Thanks, Cecelia!
Thanks for the link, Cecelia! Will have to give this a try! 🙂
Brandi and Karen, I hope you have fun doing the exercise! I might try copying and pasting some of my other works to see how they pan out! 🙂
cool!
Tracy, glad you enjoyed it!
17/20 WOOHOO!
However, too many complex words (including ‘apartment’–lol).
My average sentence length (9.4) is slightly less than my romance genre (11.56) which means (I guess) I’m doing my job of short, snappy sentences for a quick pace. 🙂
Victoria – Yeah!!
