This Photo Was Me Before Grammarly Grammar Checker

Before I found Grammarly Grammar Checker, this is how I felt before posting an article or publishing a newsletter. I was afraid to hit “publish” or “send” for fear of typos.  Because let’s face it, spell checkers do not catch everything. Finding Grammarly has reduced my time spent editing and stressing before putting a post, email, or product out into the world.

Grammarly is an online proofreader and grammar checking tool. It checks for errors with spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Choose from a free or premium paid version. The free version is an excellent place to start to get an idea of how the program works. The premium version has more bells and whistles, giving style and vocabulary recommendations along with a plagiarism checker.  

Cool Features

The paid premium version also allows you to set goals for your writing, such as whether or not you want to write in a formal or informal tone, or whether or not you want to excite or persuade someone. 

Did I mention It’s Free?

I started with the free version and immediately found myself saving time in the editing process. Finding it easy to use, after a few months, I decided to try the premium version. I am now hooked on this tool and run everything I write, from lengthy emails to blog posts and writing presentations and products such as my cheat sheets through this tool. It is effortless to use, and the editing tool is remarkable.  Not only does it point out errors, but it offers suggestions on how to correct mistakes or improve readability. 

In the past, I would worry that I missed something before publishing and spent hours going over and over the text.  Yet, I would still miss errors!  I no longer worry about this, as Grammarly catches everything.   I can edit and finalize copy much faster than I can on my own. So, in addition to helping me reduce errors, it is a time saver.

If you are writing anything that you will share publicly, whether it is your artist statement, bio, or copy for your website, give Grammarly a try. There is no time limit on the free version, and you can upgrade at any time.
