About Authors Compare

Authors Compare is a site where 100 authors respond to the same set of interview questions to allow site visitors to discover:

- how 100 Authors Compare on the same set of questions
- how 100 of one kind of Authors Compare to 100 of another kind of authors on a range of questions
- how your favourite Authors Compare to authors you are not as fond of on a range of questions
- how 500 varying kinds of Authors Compare to one another on the same question
- and more...

You can learn more about some of your favourite authors, learn about a wide variety of writing approaches and techniques, and develop ideas about how the writing approaches and techniques of various Authors Compare to others and decide what separates the ones you like more from the ones you like less.

100 authors per set of questions provides a large sample and convenient numbers for easy statistical analysis of the responses.

You can decide what to compare. Just find something interesting you can determine from the author responses, being sure to consider how reliably or to what degree of accuracy it can be told from the responses, do the numbers and arrive at easy to calculate percentages.

Whether you want to to compare the child/teen reading interests, professional background and approach to their first two novel manuscripts of 100 debut novelists and 100 internationally bestselling novelists, or compare the thoughts of 100 teen/young adult novelists and 100 novelists who write for adults on the contribution a chapter from one of their novels makes to the overall novel, you can use Authors Compare.

Don't generalise about authors and writing based on speculative theories or writing guru advice books. Develop your own ideas about what authors actually do in practice.
