I tried Grammarly for a while and found it clunky, but many excel- lent writers I know love it. Test it and see if you like it. HEMINGWAY EDITOR An alternative writing assistant is Hemingway Editor. You can copy/paste your writing into their online editor or down- load the desktop app. Some writers love Hemingway Editor, some don’t. I kinda like it, but don’t use it. It’s helpful for sentence structure and common problem areas: passive voice, excessive adverbs, and poor word choice. One unique feature of this software is that it assigns a readability grade level as you write. 440 · ThE SCriBE METhOD
