ProWritingAid
Deep AI writing analysis for fiction, non-fiction, and professional writers
What is ProWritingAid?
ProWritingAid is the writing analysis tool built for serious writers — novelists, memoirists, journalists, and content professionals who want to understand not just their errors, but their writing patterns. While Grammarly catches what you did wrong, ProWritingAid tells you why your writing could be stronger with 20+ in-depth reports: overused words, sentence length variation, readability scores, dialogue tags, pacing, and more.
The Reports feature is unique in the market. The Sticky Sentences Report identifies phrases that bog down reader momentum. The Cliché Report flags overused expressions. The Readability Report shows grade-level complexity by paragraph. The Repetition Report highlights words you use too frequently across a document. Together, these reports provide an editorial perspective that no other automated tool offers.
The lifetime deal at $399 is exceptional value for full-time writers — equivalent to paying $20/mo for 20 months, after which the software is yours forever. ProWritingAid also offers a Scrivener integration, making it the preferred grammar and style tool for novel writers who use Scrivener as their writing environment.
