This week, we are proud to offer two free writing webinars that you can attend.

April 29: Get Started On Your Story Edit with Kristina Stanley

We all get excited when we type “The End” on our first draft. Before you share your story with others, you owe it to yourself to tell the best possible version. Learn how to self-edit, and you’ll create a story readers love.

In this session, Kristina Stanley, CEO of Fictionary and ALLi Story Editing Advisor, will teach you where to begin a story edit. If your dream is to craft a powerful story, she'll show you how to “see” your first draft in a new way.

Just like you learned how to write a novel, you can learn how to perform a story edit. All you need is a clear process, some editing knowledge, and the right tools.

Fictionary: The Story Editing Tool for Fiction

Developed by best-selling author and editor Kristina Stanley, Fictionary helps writers tell better stories with online software that simplifies and automates story editing.

Story editing is an in-depth manuscript evaluation that improves the structure, characters, plot, and settings of your story. A must-do step when you’re revising your manuscript.

Fictionary analyzes your entire manuscript and creates powerful visuals such as the Story Arc and your Cast of Characters. 11 additional reports help you visualize your story like never before.

Fictionary then guides writers through a scene-by-scene evaluation of their manuscript against 38 story elements and provides insightful rewrite tips for improving your story exactly when you need it.


ProWritingAid Premium: All of ProWritingAid's Editing Power, No Limitations

Since you're here on our blog, you probably already know and love the ProWritingAid editing tool, but we just thought we would take a moment to remind you about the extra perks you get when you go premium:

If you don't write that often, you will probably get along just fine with our free version and its 500-word limit. If, however, you want to analyze full chapters, articles, reports or essays and get a wider overview of your work, then ProWritingAid Premium is for you.

#2: Integrations

Premium users have access to the ProWritingAid Desktop App (perfect for Scrivener and Mac users), as well as our add-ins for MS Word, Google Docs, and Chrome.
