How To Edit Your Writing Before Posting On Nairaland Or Publishing As A Book by AlphikkaTech(op): 5:23pm On Nov 06, 2016
Editing your write-up can be a daunting challenge for every writer, whether you are a novelist or non-fiction writer, simply because it requires an objective mindset and a detached approach to criticism.

It's best to pay a professional editor to edit your work especially when it is to be published as a book. But when the cash isn't available or you are writing for Nairalanders, then the best alternative is to use a free editing software.

From our analysis, the best editing software for writers is the ProWritingAid software. You can use the software for free at www.prowritingaid.com

An "editing" software is not an alternative to professional editing at all. The good ones will not spot up to 40% of basic grammatical errors. Never mind complex errors. Their real pitfall for someone who's average or below average in the language is that they make a lot of wrong suggestions which the writer might adopt in error. They are a bonus if you know what you are doing, but they do not replace an editor. Serious writers should always hire a professional editor.

I agree with you that they are not 100% efficient but the good ones like the one above can be up to 70% efficient. We have seen it time and time again as it transforms poorly written works into glowing professional write-ups.

I'm sorry, but you need to go easy on the hyperbole. No grammar checker anywhere can do that. Note that the more errors a grammar checker spots the more wrong suggestions it tends to make, which creates a problem for a non-professional. I have used a few of the best ones and I know. I actually tried to register for this one yesterday to try it out but it seems they won't let me even try it out unless I pay money first.
