Tutorial: Using ProWritingAid for editing with Joanna (J.F.) Penn

[@ruthweatherill9299]

Great Joanna - many thanks. Can't wait to get stuck in.

[@SteveGalliford]

Joanna - you really are wonderful. Thanks for all you do and share with the rest of us.

[@thecreativepenn]

Thank you so much!

I bought this software a year ago but haven't used it. I think I felt it might become a prop or that I wouldn't feel my work was my own. After watching this I see it is totally up to me what I choose to use and that I'll get some really interesting feedback.

[@thecreativepenn]

Oh yes, it's not a tool for writing, only for editing. I find it super helpful.

[@tomaria100]

Fascinating! Thank you!

[@Alfscan777]

Thank you for your response

[@AphroditesCreativeChronicles]

Awesome!

[@themessianictorahobserverm6456]

Fantastic! Thank you Joanna. Always a pleasure!

[@adventureswithtime]

Very goo overview of this tool. Two questions Does it correct punctuation for dialogue? Can I target its editing for middle grades (ages 9-13) fiction?

[@thecreativepenn]

Yes :)

[@faithmacgregor340]

How is the functionality when using it withing Scrivener? Or do you recommend we edit withing PWA.

[@thecreativepenn]

You can just do it within PWA. I use Scrivener, but will likely migrate for editing purposes.

[@stevebaldock4967]

Would PWA be suitable for analysing, say, a book of person studies as a result of findings from genealogical research (make sense?) ?

[@thecreativepenn]

Just try it and see :)

@@thecreativepenn it's all in my head at the moment!

Thank you for this tutorial, Joanna. After all this tinkering would the document be classed as 'some AI input' on the Amazon platform? (As this now has to be declared) I know it's all your own original work, but I wonder if a certain level of AI editing help from platforms like PWA would count as AI assisted.

[@thecreativepenn]

I think if you substantially used 'Rewrite' perhaps, but I think you don't need to declare editing tools. Up to you of course. I declare AI usage in every work as I use it at different stages of the process.

[@danielriley3494]

Do you know of a way to check for reading level? I need to pull Mine down to 5th grade.

[@silversurfer4195]

I had used PWA a while back, but didn't know it had so many hidden gems! I have the Premium version, I guess that's the one you're demonstrating, Joanna?

[@thecreativepenn]

Yes, it's the premium, and they have added a lot of functionality recently :)

[@Alfscan777]

I can see you like to talk… but what about telling us how you interfaced Pro-writing Aid with Scrivener…. Or did i miss something

[@thecreativepenn]

You just open ProWritingAid and then you can open Scrivener within it.

[@123gp1833]

What's the difference between this and Claude or chat gpt.

[@thecreativepenn]

They are very different. This is an editing tools, whereas Claude and ChatGPT are multi-purpose AI assistants that are not designed specifically for editing. You can try them all as a comparison!
