How easy is this software to use? Is this software that you would recommend for someone just starting out? If not, can you suggest software that might be easier?
Thanks,
Sue

Hi, April.
Thank you for bringing this tool to my attention. I’m hooked. I tested it on a short story which I’d thought complete after editing with a different software product.

Surprise, surprise! ProWritersAid kept me occupied for two hours and improved my story by huge amounts — and there are many of its functions still unexplored.

I bought the Premium version on the strength of your discount (as my senior-citizen income lacks the expansive qualities of my imagination). I look forward to an exciting and productive interaction with PWA. It has regenerated my enthusiasm and got my brain cells buzzing.
Thank you.
John H.

In reply to Christina.

Hi Christina,

You can run multiple reports at the same time with the Combo Report. Just go into your settings and you can choose the reports that you want to include. We don’t recommend running too many together though as it will slow the software down.

Hope that helps!

Lisa from ProWritingAid

In reply to Missy Welsh. I think PWA's strength is in later stages when you're looking to clean up your writing and get it that last mile. Any automated program really depends on the user to be able to weigh when to accept a suggestion and when not to, or as you say, it will affect the voice.

Maybe I’m missing something, but this seems like a voice killer to me. I write in deep point of view with half-finished thoughts, repetition, whatever the character requires in that moment of expression. Sounds like this program would hate me entirely.

April, this looks absolutely amazing! To have this much help in writing and revision in one tool sounds so wonderful. It’s bookmarked on my wish list and I have a VERY strong feeling I’ll end up trying for a year at first. Thank you!

In reply to Amanda. It is a fascinating rabbit hole, Amanda, and it finds things I certainly miss on the first pass, and things that I typically need to read over and over to detect. It's a time-saver and I am going to enjoy working with it.

In reply to Christina.

Hi Christina,

I had to run an analysis on each story/piece individually. If there is a way to run batches, support would know. That would be terrific, and if they don’t, maybe it’s something they should be working to accomplish. 🙂 hello@prowritingaid.com –go grab that credit for a great idea.
