Grammarly
Grammarly is an awesome web app, desktop app, Word plug-in, and browser plug-in which will make it easy and convenient for you to improve your writing's grammar and spelling. They also put out a grammar handbook which is very helpful. Pro-tip: notice that the app has different settings like "general academic," "novel," and "business proposal" which allows the app to target its suggestions. Alternatives: Ginger, a web and mobile app which essentially has the same function as Grammarly. Judge for yourself which is better |
