What are you writing?

See if it has a shot — first.

Authors are told to study the bestsellers before they write a word. Bookie does it for you in minutes — and tells you straight whether your idea has a real shot.

Meet Bookie— your book's bookie. He reads what's actually selling and tells you whether your idea has a real shot at landing in readers' hands.

Tell Bookie about your idea

Describe your idea in your own words — a sentence or a messy paragraph doesn't matter.
