With editing software readily available, hiring an editor may seem pointless. I should warn you against not investing in an editor. Grammarly is suitable for students, bloggers, freelance writers, businesses, even academics because it is affordable smart AI (artificial intelligence). </span></div><div> </div><div id="viewer-4a0ib" class="q2uC4 _208vH"><div class="_2o-_D"><div class="_3lvoN LPH2h"><a href="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e1fc6_a4165e70a9d74d188fb35142c720510c~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_740,h_416,al_c,q_95/0e1fc6_a4165e70a9d74d188fb35142c720510c~mv2.webp" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e1fc6_a4165e70a9d74d188fb35142c720510c~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_740,h_416,al_c,q_95/0e1fc6_a4165e70a9d74d188fb35142c720510c~mv2.webp?profile=RESIZE_584x" width="550" alt="0e1fc6_a4165e70a9d74d188fb35142c720510c~mv2.webp?profile=RESIZE_584x" /></a></div><div><span style="font-size:14pt;">Alone, editing software has its advantages like finding mistakes and typos. What editing AI lacks is the ability to discern the emotion you are trying to convey, that human touch. Editing software also isn't sensitive to word choice and sentence structure for effect. For writers, tense consistency is extremely important. It allows your readers to follow along with your story whether you're writing in past, present, or future tense. An editor can ensure your audience doesn't get lost, unlike editing software. Programs and software usually do not offer suggested rewrites. When an editor suggests a rewrite, they substantially reword or reorganizes sentence structure so it flows better and is more clear and concise.</span></div></div></div><div><span style="font-size:14pt;"> </span></div><p id="viewer-2lm4a" class="XzvDs _208Ie _1atvN _2QAo- _25MYV _2WrB- public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr"><span class="vkIF2 public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr" style="font-size:14pt;">When asked, CaTyra stated, <em>"Editing software should be used to supplement not replace an editor. Furthermore, Grammarly, Microsoft Editor, and other software do not provide feedback on content. Editors are able to inquire about content as well as make suggestions/recommendations to enhance your manuscript. Hire a trusted, qualified editor to polish your document. You will not regret it."</em></span></p><div> </div><div id="viewer-4mr1u" class="q2uC4 _208vH"><div class="_2o-_D"><div class="_3lvoN LPH2h"><a href="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e1fc6_5d0064cf0ea74b50b7e2ee22cfc8c97d~mv2.gif" target="_blank"><img class="align-center" src="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/0e1fc6_5d0064cf0ea74b50b7e2ee22cfc8c97d~mv2.gif?profile=RESIZE_584x" width="550" alt="0e1fc6_5d0064cf0ea74b50b7e2ee22cfc8c97d~mv2.gif?profile=RESIZE_584x" /></a></div><div><span style="font-size:14pt;">Learn more about Love for Words and CEO CaTyra Polland, an editor who is dedicated to polishing your manuscript until it shines, visit <a class="_2qJYG _2E8wo" href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTJUeHFvRFpIWWc0dFV3WV9HRVpPOERNSUtrZ3xBQ3Jtc0tsRXpOQmo2cHJ3UGN5bzhxRFNCSFdET0hiUlJVXzN4RDc1Mm5faHFocFFwTTI0VnVkQXR5c1ZnUkpPeVFjQm1kazFEQ21fUWhMajN3Szh1eDNrNnozWEJqSm1Ud0NXQ1RFZ1pMeFpjSFhfS3VDRDlWbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.PollandLLC.com" target="_blank"><u class="sDZYg">www.PollandLLC.com</u></a>.
