ProWritingAid helps authors move from ideas and drafts to editing English text. It includes language checks, reports and separate tools for analyzing stories and manuscripts.
Look at the manuscript from different angles
ProWritingAid is aimed at authors who want to meaningfully improve the text, rather than just replace each highlighted word. The official product combines planning, writing, line editing and story critique. Grammatical error, stylistic advice and remark on the development of the scene are different types of feedback.
Start with the manuscript's current stage. If events and characters are still changing, polishing every sentence may be premature. For a finished draft, separately checking repeated words and hard-to-read constructions is useful.
Reports and AI-tools
The suite features Writing Reports, Rephrase, Sparks and chapter, character and manuscript analysis tools. Available volume depends on the plan and individual limits. Do not assume that free access includes a complete analysis of the book without restrictions.
A report helps spot patterns but does not make artistic choices for the author. Repetition may be an accidental habit or a deliberate device. Before changing a phrase, decide what it does in the scene and whose voice it conveys.
Example: remove random repetitions in the scene
Take a short English passage in which a character approaches an old door. Check for repeated intensifiers and adverbs. Compare proposed changes with the scene's rhythm: an overly polished version may lose its tension or the narrator's character.
After editing, reread the paragraph together with the surrounding ones. A good individual phrase should not disrupt the narrative tense or sequence of actions.
English is an essential condition
Official help states that the product supports English, including several English variants. It cannot therefore be described as a full editor for Russian manuscripts. The dialect choice affects some spelling and style suggestions.
Authors writing in English as a second language should check meaning separately. An accepted edit may be grammatical while missing the intended nuance. Discuss difficult passages with an editor, especially before professional publication.
Free plan and advanced analysis
A free tier and paid plans are available. Editing, paraphrasing and story-analysis limits vary; certain in-depth operations have separate terms and credits. Compare the features you need on the official page before paying.
Do not upload someone else's or a private manuscript without permission. Check material rights and document-processing rules. Automated critique provides another perspective, but does not promise publication, commercial success or equally accurate assessment of every genre.

Practical example
- Task
- Edit an English excerpt from your own manuscript
- What to prepare
- A short English passage from your own manuscript: The door was very old. Maya was very tired. She slowly walked slowly towards the door.
Task brief or prompt
Editorial task: check repeated words, pacing and clarity of actions in an English passage. First examine highlights and reports, then change only passages where editing helps the scene; do not invent events for the author.
Expected result
Feedback on the excerpt and a thoughtfully edited version that preserves the scene.
How to check the result
- Distinguish intentional repetition from accidental.
- After editing, check the narrator's voice and sequence of actions.
