Writing Styles

Recently I submitted one of my mystery novels for review of my writing style to other known mystery novelists. Surprise, surprise, my style of writing closely matches the writing style of Mary Higgins Clark and Robert Parker. I spoke with the owner of the software company and he assured me that the number of variables used for comparison were numerous, too numerous to state, but could be summarized by ratings in four categories: Authorial Vocabulary; Expressive Complexity; Grammar; and Tonal Quality.

I am pleased to be in their company and fortunately have read several of their works. Writing style reviews are not the same as content style reviews, but may be helpful for a reader choosing to read a particular work.

I am pleased that the awesome power of computers has been put to work in an area of interest that I have. Since my review was based on mystery writing, I don't know what authors I would align with in other genres.
