ProWritingAid
ProWritingAid is a writing assistant for authors that combines grammar and style editing with AI story planning, rephrasing and chapter critiques.
About this tool
ProWritingAid is an editing tool aimed especially at fiction and long-form writers. Its line-editing reports go beyond grammar to cover style, repetition, pacing and readability, with suggestions tailored to more than 40 document types. The company also runs community initiatives such as a November novel-writing programme.
AI features support the whole process of writing a book. Story Canvas gives feedback on a story idea before drafting, planning tools shape ideas into an outline, Rephrase rewrites sentences to be more formal, shorter or more vivid, Sparks help develop passages, Creative Nudges counter writer’s block and Chapter Critique evaluates a chapter in seconds. Free accounts have daily limits; paid plans raise them.
