Suggested Feedback Types

When you upload a manuscript, Writers Room automatically detects your genre using BISAC classification and analyzes:

  • Your detected genre - Identified from your content using industry-standard BISAC codes, with specific conventions and reader expectations
  • Chapter summaries - The unique elements, settings, professions, and themes in your story
  • Existing feedback types - What you've already generated, to avoid duplicates

Based on this analysis, the system creates 3-4 custom "expert reviewer" feedback types that are specifically relevant to your manuscript.

Examples of Generated Expert Types​

For a Regency Romance, you might see:​

  • Social Conduct & Etiquette Consultant: Reviews period-appropriate social interactions
  • Estate Management Historian: Evaluates accuracy of property and inheritance details
  • Romance Beat Checker: Ensures all expected romance beats are present (meet-cute, dark moment, HEA)

For a Mystery/Thriller, you might see:​

  • Forensic Pathologist Review: Evaluates forensic accuracy and investigative realism
  • Police Procedure Consultant: Reviews accuracy of investigation protocols
  • Pacing & Suspense Analyst: Checks that clues are properly seeded and tension builds appropriately

When Suggestions Are Generated​

Automatic Generation (During Import)​

Your manuscript's genre is automatically detected during import using AI analysis. Once detected, suggested feedback types are generated based on your specific BISAC genre classification. They'll be ready and waiting in the Feedback Modal when you first access your document.

You can see your detected genre in the chat panel during import, along with a confidence level and brief explanation of why that genre was identified.

Manual Generation (In the Feedback Modal)​

You can also generate additional suggestions manually:

  1. Open the Feedback Modal
  2. Click Generate more in the suggestions section
  3. The system will create new expert reviewer types based on your detected genre

Viewing Your Suggestions​

Suggested feedback types appear in a highlighted "Suggested for you" section at the top of the feedback types list in the Get Feedback modal. Each suggestion includes:

  • Name: A creative expert title (e.g., "Maritime Navigation Expert")
  • Description: A brief explanation of what this expert reviews

Generating Additional Suggestions​

If you want more suggestions beyond the initial batch:

  1. Open the Feedback Modal
  2. Scroll to the "Suggested for you" section
  3. Click Generate more
  4. The system will create new expert types that cover different areas of expertise (avoiding duplicates)

Managing Suggested Feedback Types​

Suggested feedback types are automatically added to your feedback type library. You can:

  • Select them for feedback requests like any other feedback type
  • Edit them by hovering over the type and clicking the edit icon
  • Delete them if they're not relevant to your needs (click the edit button and you'll see a delete button appear at the bottom of the modal)

Tips for Best Results​

  • Trust automatic detection: Writers Room uses AI to identify your specific BISAC genre—the more distinct your genre markers, the more accurate the detection
  • Check the confidence level: High confidence means clear genre markers; lower confidence may mean cross-genre elements
  • Generate more if needed: Each generation produces unique experts, so you can build a collection over time
  • Edit to refine: If an expert is close but not quite right, edit their instructions to better match your needs

Writers Room uses BISAC (Book Industry Standards and Communications) codes—the same system used by publishers and bookstores—to classify your manuscript. This ensures your feedback is calibrated to industry-standard genre expectations.
