Book Marketing

Diagnose genre problems and generate genre-specific elements. Use when genre promise is unclear, when elements feel misplaced, when secondary genres compete with primary, or when you need genre-specific entropy. Covers all 11 elemental genres from the Writing Excuses framework.

Systematically identify what's missing in non-fiction writing—both blind spots (inherent limitations) and blank spots (gaps that could be addressed). Use before finalizing non-fiction or when feedback feels incomplete.

Diagnose world-level story problems. This skill should be used when settings feel thin, institutions feel designed rather than evolved, economies don't make sense, or non-human species feel like humans in costume. Keywords: worldbuilding, setting, world, institutions, economy, culture, species, consequences.

Diagnose and improve humor using systems thinking. Use when jokes fall flat, when humor feels forced, when punchlines don't land, or when you want to systematically enhance comedic writing. Treats jokes as engineerable connection systems.

Design economic systems for fictional worlds. Use when worldbuilding needs currencies, trade networks, resource economies, or when economic pressures should drive plot and character motivation.

Autonomously draft and polish chapters through multi-skill editorial passes. Use when you have a complete outline and want to produce a polished first draft with iterative refinement.
