Professional Editing Tool: A Godsend for Amateur Writers

I discovered a wonderful editing tool for all amateur and freelance writers who need to improve their written work and general English skills. I thought I should share...

Being a freelance writer isn't easy. Editing your own written work can be difficult, especially when your writing skills are limited, or English isn't your first language. But I've found a solution to our problems! A day or so ago, while surfing the web, I accidentally clicked on a web-page offering a free trial download of an advanced grammar and spell-check tool. Cor blimey, guvnor, I thought - that's exactly what I need!

So, I downloaded, installed and tested it, using a passage from an article I'd already published on Bukisa and Triond. I purposely picked one I'd thrown together on the spur of the moment, without editing (yes, I admit I do sometimes do that) and was very impressed with the corrected result:

It's easy to use, and works with whatever word-processing software you're typing into - or you can highlight your text in your browser (when typing direstly into Bukisa, for example) and it will correct your work and apply the corrections to the original text.

It has a thesaurus; it's easy to apply corrections with; and it helped me improve my paragraph massively! I also learnt a little from having to correct "negative sentences" and was praised for using no "passive verbs". All aspects of your work are scored, from word complexity and sentence length, to grammar, punctuation and spelling. It's a God-send for all amateur writers, and I expect everyone to reward me accordingly, with lots of lovely presents throughout the year! (Okay, clicks, likes and comments will do nicely...)

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for: you can get it HERE.

Have fun!
