Meet Barry
Your tireless editorial companion, here to help you craft the best version of your story.
Your tireless editorial companion, here to help you craft the best version of your story.
Every writer knows the challenge: you've poured months or years into your manuscript, and now you need honest feedback. But professional editorial assessments are expensive, often costing $500 to $2,000 or more. Many talented writers simply can't afford this crucial step in their journey.
Barry was created to bridge that gap. Using advanced language technology trained on vast libraries of literature and editorial expertise, Barry can analyze your entire manuscript and provide detailed, structural feedback—helping you prepare your best work before you connect with editors.
Many authors use Barry as a first pass before working with human editors, catching structural issues and inconsistencies early in the process. Think of Barry as the tireless first reader who helps you arrive at your editor's desk with a stronger manuscript.
Your words are your own. Barry only reads and analyzes—the creative work remains entirely yours.
A deep dive into your manuscript, powered by cutting-edge technology
Barry reads your entire manuscript from beginning to end, understanding context, callbacks, and narrative threads that span hundreds of pages.
Multiple specialized algorithms examine different aspects of your work: structure, character arcs, emotional beats, pacing, themes, and writing style.
You receive detailed reports with specific observations, visualizations, and concrete suggestions—not vague platitudes.
We never claim rights to your manuscript. We never use your work to train our systems. Your creative work belongs to you, period.
Barry exists to help writers improve their craft, not to replace human creativity. We build tools that empower authors.
Professional feedback shouldn't be a luxury. We keep our pricing fair so every writer can access the guidance they deserve.
Barry tells you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. Growth comes from honest assessment, not empty praise.
