Really great four-day online sci-fi writing conference put on by ProWritingAid.
I’ve used the paid version of this software to check my manuscripts for spelling, punctuation, grammar and style, and it’s great. Very simple to use and comparable to Grammarly, which fixes basic mistakes that are easy to overlook, without it going to heavy on the Artificial Intelligence thing. I’d favoured Grammarly as it seems to integrate better into cross-platform sharing, which suits me as I like to write the same document on both MacBook and iPad using Mac Pages.
But now this conference has made me think differently about ProWritingAid. There were some great sessions on editing your novel, engaging with your audience, and interviews with published authors. There was some software demonstrations and some plugs for various services, but this wasn’t at all heavy, and for a free conference, was just right. I’ll be revising some of my work based on the ideas and techniqiues I’ve learnt.
