I've seen the text, and it was genre typical.

You get 80% of the way there just by giving them a writing sample and asking them to copy the style paragraph by paragraph. You get a lot further with some basic statistics to look for seriously out of distribution word use.

The hard problem isn't prose, but consistency over a long text.

I don't know how he's achieved that, but I've seen the reviews and none complained about consistency issues, which readers tend to be sticklers about.

it was genre typical

What genre, if you don't mind me asking?
