A NEW website claims it can find your inner author.
I Write Like has a simple gimmick: You paste a few paragraphs that exemplify your writing, then click "analyze" and it tells you you write like Stephen King or Ernest Hemingway or Chuck Palahniuk.
The suggested author of a transcript from one of the leaked Mel Gibson phone calls was Margaret Atwood.
The New Yorker found that a birthday party invitation was James Joycean. Many others were aghast to discover they wrote similarly to "Da Vinci Code" scribe Dan Brown.
Atwood, herself, tried the site only to discover she writes like King. "Who knew?" She tweeted.
The site (iwl.me) was created by Dmitry Chestnykh, a 27-year-old Russian software programer. He uploaded works by about 50 authors to make the comparisons but plans to improve it by including more authors.
