Check who you write like:
http://iwl.me/

I put in sections from my latest technical paper and got H.P.Lowcraft...

Not sure if that's good or bad...

Miranda got Dan Brown for her query and Steven King and Corry Doctorow for actual stories...

I write like:

Chuck Palahniuk
Jonathan Swift
Stephen King


Used three different stories to get these. I tried different parts of the same story as well and it did give me the same author(Palahniuk).
