If you want serious, publication-focused feedback, you need more than grammar fixes.

This tool is designed for practical revision. It highlights what’s working, what’s weakening the manuscript, and what to change first, without rewriting your work. Monthly Usage Limits: Free Plan 8 x 1,000 words | Pro Plan 100 x 10,000 words
