Key Takeaways

Generated from the text of customer reviews

ProWritingAid is built for people who spend a lot of time writing. Authors, students, and content writers can use it to review their work, with the software being particularly well suited to long-form and creative projects. Its appeal comes from the way it looks at the writing as a whole instead of only pointing out mistakes. Some users, however, find that certain suggestions do not always fit the context of what they are trying to say. The software has also moved beyond editing by adding support for other parts of the writing process.

Our Verdict

ProWritingAid works best for writers who spend a lot of time on novels, theses, and other long pieces. Novelists and self-published authors are likely to get more from it than someone who only needs a quick grammar check. Its reports go deeper into style and structure, which can be useful when a piece needs more than basic corrections. For regular users, the annual and lifetime plans offer better value, while the monthly option may be harder to justify for occasional use. Overall, ProWritingAid is better suited to writers who want detailed feedback on longer work rather than quick fixes.

ProWritingAid Features

Virtual Beta Reader

ProWritingAid features Virtual Beta Reader that looks at a manuscript from a reader’s point of view. It can help authors spot parts of a story that may affect engagement, pacing, character development, or overall reading experience. This gives writers another opinion to consider before sending a draft to beta readers or an editor.

Story Canvas

Story Canvas gives writers a visual area for planning a story before they start drafting or while the draft is taking shape. They can lay out characters, settings, plot points, and other parts of the story in one place. This can make it easier to see how a longer project is developing and keep track of its direction.

Marketability Analysis

Marketability Analysis gives authors a closer look at where a book might sit in its target market. It considers potential readers, comparable titles, positioning, and promotional planning. For self-published authors, this information can help them think through the market before releasing a finished book.

Sentence Rephrasing

Rephrase suggests other ways to write a sentence when the original wording feels unclear, awkward, or unsuitable for the intended tone. Writers can compare different versions and choose an approach that fits the passage without having to rewrite it from the beginning.

See How It Works
Writing App Integrations

ProWritingAid connects with writing apps such as Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and Scrivener. Writers can review their work while staying in the applications they already use. This means they do not have to keep moving drafts into another editor just to check or revise their writing.

Must-have for all my programs

Pros

I absolutely apperciate how ProWritingAid picks up on even the smallest mistakes that I would've never noticed. Sometimes, it's the tiniest errors like missing commas or awkward phrasing that slip by when I'm in the zone. But with this tool, it catches everything, no matter how subtle and it helps me make my writing so much cleaner and more polished. It's like having a second set of eyes on my work at all times.

Cons

I wish the box could be smaller or at least let me move it to another screen. It covers some of the text I'm trying to change and I can't see the full sentence. I have to keep moving it back and forth to read everything.

Sometimes it's a little slow but that might just be my internet.
