And I think you can try it for 30 days for free. (25 times? - I can't remember exactly what the offer was. It's been too long.) Good luck.

I use ProWritingAid as my editing software after a rough draft and edit with Word (or Open Office Writer on LINUX). It is a subwcription service, but I highly recoommmend it. There is a free version, but if you want all the features, buy the subscription. There isa  desktop/laptop application as well as a web-based version so you can edit anywhere you want as long as you have Internet capability. I used it while on cruises.

PWA will run over 20 checks on your manuscript from Grammar to Style and offer pointers along the way.

I’m curious, does anyone here use any book writing software or could you recommend something? Right now I am using Evernote because I have it and I’m familiar with it, but I’m not sure its the best option for writing a novel. I also don’t want to sink a lot of money into software coming out of the gate. Thanks in advance smile
