Tool: ProWritingAid

An editing tool should help you make your writing clearer and your message easier to read. Offering a comprehensive range of reports to highlight weak areas in your prose, ProWritingAid can help you to become a better writer. Digging down to the granular level, the tool can point out where you have used too many filler words, weak verbs, passive voice, or repetitive phrasing. In more of a helicopter view, it can show you where sensory details are missing, highlight your story’s strengths and weaknesses, and point out where you’re telling when you might want to be showing. It can also suggest how to enhance your plot, refine your characters, and make your setting come alive.
