Does anyone know of a really good grammar and spell checker that I can use
I'm currently trying to write my own book but I know that when I proofread I won't be picking up on every little mistake. Does anyone know of a good program I can use that will help proofread my work for spelling and grammar mistakes?

I don't think any of the proofreading options are good on their own. I always use two. Recently, I've been using the one that comes with Word and Grammarly. I've been writing reviews for a couple of years, so rarely have errors anymore, but when I do, these tools find them.them1n1ch1ef15 wrote: ↑19 Mar 2018, 08:30 I have been using Grammarly but I'm still getting penalised for incorrect grammar despite Grammarly being happy with the text. It's hard to know what to do really not least because some of it is subjective! If anyone can suggest a better checking app I would be really grateful.

That's a common error for newer reviewers.ViziVoir wrote: ↑20 Mar 2018, 20:59 I'm having some success with Grammarly since I have problems placing commas with some dependent clauses. When first writing this post, I put a comma after "Grammarly" in the preceding sentence, which highlights my point! Knowing the ins and outs of dependent and independent clauses is pretty invaluable, regardless. There's lots of minor rules to keep track of.
