Writers Toolbox

I thought I would make a quick post on some tools that can assist an author with their writing.

AutoCrit – http://www.autocrit.com

The AutoCrit Editing Wizard finds hundreds of problems instantly - even things that you and your critique partners have missed. The Wizard identifies slow pacing, overused words, cliches and many more problems typical of early drafts.

Grammarly  - http://www.grammarly.com

Grammarly will analyze your document in real time for over 150 points of grammar, plagiarism, word choice and much more. Also has a Microsoft Word Plugin which works a treat.

WhiteSmoke – http://www.whitesmoke.com

Perfect your English writing with the most advanced Spelling, Grammar Checker, Punctuation, Style and Structure checkers. Full-text translation & multilingual dictionary.  Learn from your mistakes with error-explanation tool.

I personally use all three in combination.  White Smoke while writing.  Paragraph by Paragraph.  AutoCrit to analyse a completed chapter.  Finally I run the results of that through Grammarly in a blank word document.
