20 awesome Black Friday deals for writers
1) ProWritingAid
Date: Nov 16–Dec 4
Offer: 50% off yearly and lifetime licenses, plus 25% extra on Story Credits
Get your draft ready for its next reader with 50% off ProWritingAid this Black Friday.
Finished a draft but not sure it’s good enough? Friends and family say they loved it, but that doesn’t tell you what to fix.
ProWritingAid is the writing toolkit for storytellers, and it starts where every great draft does: one sentence at a time. Its 25+ line-editing reports point to the sentences that need work and explain why. One finds the extra words that slow your sentences down, so “It was in the middle of the night that she heard it” becomes “She heard it in the middle of the night.” Another spots the words you use too often, and another shows where your pacing starts to drag.
You decide what to change, so your voice stays your own. ProWritingAid never uses your writing to train its algorithms, and you own everything you write. It works wherever you write, from Google Docs and Word to Scrivener, and more than 4 million writers use it.
From November 16 to December 4, get 50% off Premium and Premium Pro, on yearly and lifetime plans. With a lifetime plan, you pay once and keep it for good.

You can replace beautiful with words like breathtaking, flawless, unforgettable, and dazzling.
Word Families is just one of the many useful tools you will find in MasterWriter. Also included are Phrases, Synonyms, Rhymes, Definitions, Metaphors, Similes, Onomatopoeia, Idioms, Oxymorons, Allusions, Alliterations, a searchable Bible, Pop Culture, Intensifiers (a unique collection of intense descriptive words), and more.
While a computer program cannot compete with the mind and imagination of a writer, the mind cannot compete with the word choices that MasterWriter will give you in an instant. When the two work together, great things happen.
