From their website:

Check which famous writer you write like with this statistical analysis tool, which analyzes your word choice and writing style and compares them with those of the famous writers.

Any text in English will do: your latest blog post, journal entry, comment, chapter of your unfinished book, etc. For reliable results paste at least a few paragraphs (not tweets).


On my first try (just a small paragraph), I got Raymond Chandler but I am going to try again with a longer piece.

Interesting....

I write like Cory Doctorow, who is someone I know nothing about. Oh, and Stephen King.

I put a part of one of my short stories in for the first one and my poetry for the second.

This is the piece that apparently reads like Stephen King to them:

crimson streaks
paint the sheets
smudges in garnet
decorate the bed
red-rimmed eyes
gaze without sight
burgundy wine
spilled in the fight
one ruby shoe
alone on the stoop
colors of rage
taint this day
control takes the stage
and there's nothing more to say
