A system configured to generate and display writer fluency guidance based on a piece of prepared text, the system comprising operating a processor to perform the steps of:

• receiving the piece of text prepared by the writer, wherein the text comprises a plurality of sentences;
• applying a first trained machine learning algorithm to the received sentences to identify each Incomplete sentence style type from complete sentences,
• applying a second trained machine learning algorithm to the identified complete sentences to thereby characterise each sentence as one of a sentence style type from a discrete list of defined sentence style types;
• aggregating a characterisation data set based on the characterised sentence style types;
• generating a display of writer fluency guidance based on the aggregated characterisation data set;
• and
• wherein the discrete list of sentence style types consists in each of:
• Simple Sentence;
• Adverb Sentence;
