A new chapter for ProWritingAid
After serving more than 3 million writers over the last 10+ years, we've decided to make big changes to our look and feel to reflect who we are and where we're going. Read on to learn more.
Letter from ProWritingAid's CEO and Founder, Chris Banks
Hi there,
It's more than ten years since I began writing my magical realism novel and ended up creating ProWritingAid instead. Like all good manuscripts, there have been numerous drafts over the years. We've crafted, polished, cut out the bad bits, and added to the story.
And now we've reached this milestone, we felt the time was right to celebrate how far we've come with a new edition of our brand—one that better reflects who we are, what we value, and where we're going.
The craft of writing has always been at the heart of everything we do—how we can use technology to help explore and develop ideas, but never to let it overshadow the originality of human creativity. We have always wanted you, the writer, the storyteller, to be front and center. And for ProWritingAid to be your toolkit.
Our new look and feel reflects the importance of human creativity and the writing process in all its magic. Our new colors are inspired by the comforting pink of an eraser on the end of a freshly sharpened pencil and the warm brown tones of notebook pages waiting to be filled.
We've also brought in some friends to help illustrate our story, friends that represent the characters in the stories we hope ProWritingAid will help you craft. The knight errant on her quest for adventure. The detective unraveling the mysteries of plot. The friendly dragon hoarding linguistic gold.
And, of course, ProWritingAid beside you, from the beginning to The End.
We hope you'll take a few minutes to explore and enjoy the latest chapter in the ProWritingAid story. And that it inspires and delights in equal measure.
Chris Banks,
Founder and CEO, ProWritingAid

What our new brand reflects
The essence of writing
We cherish the craft of writing and see it as a powerful tool for sharing ideas, stories, and knowledge. Our new brand is a reflection of the beauty of the writing process, from the colors that reflect writing tools to the characters that grip our imaginations.
Human creativity
We've designed our brand to highlight the writer's journey and the unique magic that only human imagination can bring. All of our custom illustrations are hand drawn and colored to highlight the importance of human art.
Classic + modern
The comforting pink of a trusty eraser and the warm brown of empty pages evoke traditional writing tools, while our characters are timeless archetypes. Alongside the ProWritingAid toolkit, these ideas symbolize how modern technology supports human storytelling.
