Awesome Writer’s Tool and Give Away!!

Reblogged from Jen’s Thoughts

I love writing tools, and when I find a good one, I have to share. Anyone who has followed my blog has heard me mention Grammarly. I use Grammarly for every word I write whether it’s for an email, cover letter, resume, short story, or my new novel. I have the ability to use it directly on their website or while I’m typing in Word (they offer a word plug-in).

Recently, Grammarly became available for Google Chrome as an add-on which means that it will assist you while you write emails, blog posts, and even Facebook posts.

With each error correction and suggestion, I’m able to improve my writing on a consistent basis. Grammarly also emails a report concerning your usage and where your problem areas are. Since grammar isn’t my strong suit, I’m now able to identify my mistake while writing. It helps me become more aware especially since I’m a visual learner. I traditionally suck at commas! :)

So if there is one tool I would recommend its Grammarly. And, here’s the really exciting part. I’m offering a free 3-month premium trial to a lucky winner! You can try it out for yourself and watch your writing improve.

Here’s the inside scoop about Grammarly from Wikipedia:
Grammarly carries out more than 250 grammar checks; it proofreads and detects plagiarism in the process and finally provides users with a list of possible errors for correction.

Grammarly also provides citations when it detects plagiarism. Users can click on a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” icon to let Grammarly know whether the result was helpful.

Other features include:

·                         A grammar checker that can analyze general, business, academic, technical, creative and casual writings.

·                         A contextual spell checker that determines the appropriate spelling of a word as it is used in a sentence; thus, it finds misspelled words and also identifies correctly spelled yet incorrectly used words.

·                         Grammarly Plug-in for Microsoft Office, which adds Grammarly to Microsoft Word and Outlook.

·                         An online Grammarly Handbook resource covering what the Grammarly platform does in checking grammar and syntax.

To enter you need to:

·                         Follow my blog

·                         Share this post on Facebook and Twitter

·                         Comment below WHY you would like to win and also leave the Facebook post or Twitter link that you shared

I’ll have the drawing next Tuesday, October 6th, and will announce the lucky winner!

Until Next Time…
