Hey Aspiring Authors,
Next week, Author42 is launching three new products: Fiction42, Movie42, and Gamer42. The nonfiction app you already know is also being relaunched as Nonfiction42 inside the new suite.
Your manuscript is about to be more than a manuscript.
Movie42 and Gamer42 read the book you already wrote and turn it into something watchable or playable. Fiction42 is a full fiction-writing workflow for when you're ready to try fiction next.
Here's what's launching Monday:
Nonfiction42. The nonfiction app, rebuilt and relaunched as one of four products under the Author42 umbrella. Validates your book idea against live Amazon and Google data, with a 0-100 Viability Score and a clear verdict (Strong Enter, Enter, Reposition, or Avoid) before you write a word. Pairs a Word-like editor with a live Kindle preview in the same window.
Fiction42. For authors writing fiction. Pick two films you love (say, Alien and Casablanca), and Fiction42 generates a genre fingerprint, 15 Save-the-Cat beats, a 15-chapter scaffold, and prose drafts you can edit and export as an EPUB that passes Amazon and Apple compliance checks.
Movie42. Upload your manuscript or paste a concept. In about 15 minutes, you get a 2-minute cinematic trailer with HD video and an original score matched to your genre. The AI reads your actual manuscript and builds scene prompts from your characters and locations, so every shot looks like it belongs to your book.
Gamer42. Your manuscript becomes a playable browser game in 3 to 5 minutes, with real characters and zones pulled straight from your chapters. You choose the visual style: mostly 3D open worlds, with some 2D options too. Every game gets its own shareable link to send to anyone.
Each product works on its own. Enter through whichever one fits your next project.
Watch your inbox next week for the full launch.
Happy creating,
The Author42 Team
