I gave StyleWriter a look but came away turned off by their sneer at other editing software. They pooh-poohed MS Word (justified) and did the same to Grammarly. This isn't very professional. They state clearly they do NOT check grammar and punctuation, leaving it to Word. As most of us know, Word's grammar checker isn't really up to snuff, so things slip through the cracks. If a person (like me) knows they are a little weak on the intracasies of grammar, then StyleWriter probably isn't for you. I'd go with something a little more powerful.

I tired Grammarly and didn't like the way it worked. I settled on the pay version of Pro Writing Aid. One year is only $50. I love it. There is a desktop app as well as a web-based version. It has a free component, but I opted for the paid version withi n a week. Go to the Pro Writing Aid web page and use the web-based reporting system. All the functionality is there, the only limitation(s) are chapter length and something else (I don't remember what).

If you like it, the LIFETIME is only $175.

Welcome to the group, Amateur Writer. I saw your post on the other site. It's late here now, so I'll take a look at your short story tomorrow morning.

You Only Love Twice book cover art is currently 5th

I used to be in the numbers for Authors, but somehow I got pushed off the list.

Bill

fI just voted for yours, Randy.

Bill

Good idea, John. I'll do that right now.

EDIT: I added my title to the list under Romance Novels.

eMail on the way, Ann.

I started a publishing campaign that spread to over five months. I sent a total of 53 query letters and such. I received 50 rejection notices. I found that self-publishing using KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is easy. They even provide free desktop tools to aid you in taking a DOC/RTF/DOCX file and making an Amazon eBook formatted file fit for publication. There is even a free cover designer that allows upload of your own artwork. From raw input to being available on Amazon was 18 hours.

Thanks, Janet. I'm 5 chapters from the end of The Long Trek Home. Once I get tie final review, I'll get working on Loopy's tale (er, tail).

Bill

Thanks to you, Rachael and Gacela. The pressure's off on that novel, but I have four more waiting in the wings.
