While the Dean Koontz reference IMO makes perfect sense, others maybe down the “analysis” scale might also appear Clancy, Patterson, Thor, for “Terrorism” books but my TS book is NOT a Spy-Thriller more like theirs are written – mine more a general Thriller and Drama (as well as Historical-Fiction (as I call it #FACTion)) also distinguishing my book and writing from theirs.

Understanding SCORE-IT: A Tool for Avid Readers and Writers

By Albert Harmon Published July 23, 2025 4 min read Education

This blog post explores the SCORE-IT system, a tool that evaluates books based on various literary metrics (A, rather THE, system that outed J.K. Rowling* when she wrote under a NomDePlume to try hide her identity but Inkubate exposed her and she had to admit what what she wrote and why under an Alias). It discusses its significance for authors and readers, using examples from recent publications, including the author’s own works. The post highlights how SCORE-IT can help writers improve their craft and assist readers in discovering new books that match their preferences.

In the world of literature, the process of writing and publishing books is constantly evolving. For avid readers and aspiring authors alike, understanding the tools available to evaluate and enhance literary works is crucial. One such tool is SCORE-IT, a system that provides insights into a book’s quality based on various metrics. In this post, we will delve into what SCORE-IT is, how it works, and why it matters to both readers and writers.

What is SCORE-IT?

SCORE-IT is a scoring system developed by Incubate, a company that specializes in literary analytics. This system evaluates books based on four primary criteria: authorial vocabulary, expressive complexity, grammar, and overall quality. By comparing a book to millions of others, SCORE-IT offers authors a unique perspective on their writing style and helps them understand where they stand in relation to their peers.

The Importance of ISBN

Before discussing SCORE-IT further, it’s essential to understand the role of the ISBN (International Standard Book Number). Every book that is sold commercially should have an ISBN, which is typically found on the back cover. This number is crucial for distribution and sales tracking, and it is provided by companies like Bowker. SCORE-IT results are often linked to books that have an ISBN, ensuring that the evaluations are relevant and accurate.

The Author’s Experience with SCORE-IT

The author of this blog post recently released a new book titled “The Book of Kennedy: Project Carpe Diem“** and decided to run it through the SCORE-IT system. This book, available on Kindle and soon in hardcover and softcover formats, explores themes of life and living, distinct from the author’s previous work, “Terror Strikes.”

Comparing Writing Styles

The author highlights the differences in writing styles between their various works. “Terror Strikes” is a historical fiction piece that addresses serious themes, while “The Book of Kennedy” focuses on the nuances of everyday life. By using SCORE-IT, the author aims to understand how their writing compares to other established authors.

Notable Comparisons

Upon running the SCORE-IT analysis, the author found that their latest book shares similarities with works by well-known authors:

• Joe Walton (“The Just City”)
• Paulo Coelho (“Adultery”)
• John Scalzi (“Lock In”)

The results indicated that the author’s writing style ranked highly in terms of vocabulary and complexity, suggesting that readers who enjoy these authors might also appreciate “The Book of Kennedy.”

The Significance of SCORE-IT for Readers

For readers, SCORE-IT serves as a valuable tool for discovering new books. By understanding the metrics that define a book’s quality, readers can make informed decisions about what to read next. If a book scores well in areas that align with a reader’s preferences, it is likely to be a good fit.

The Author’s Future Plans

The author plans to continue using SCORE-IT for their upcoming works, including a nonfiction book on constitutionalist politics and a guide on writing and publishing. By analyzing these different genres, the author hopes to refine their writing skills and provide readers with even more engaging content.

Conclusion

SCORE-IT is more than just a scoring system; it is a bridge between authors and readers. By providing insights into writing quality, it helps authors improve their craft and assists readers in finding books that resonate with their tastes. As the literary landscape continues to evolve, tools like SCORE-IT will play an increasingly important role in shaping the future of reading and writing.

Whether you are an author looking to enhance your writing or a reader seeking your next favorite book, understanding SCORE-IT can be a game-changer in your literary journey.
