There's no doubt that a good professional editor is a must for your book.
Writers who hire professional editors still need to go through their manuscript several times before forwarding it to the author.
There are many online tools that can help you edit your book as close to perfection as possible.
Manuscript editing software are not just spelling and grammar checkers.
Some clean up mistakes in spelling, grammar, and punctuation; others make suggestions for improving your language.
Automated editing can not be compared to human editing but it is better to use one of these tools to make some obvious corrections before sending your manuscript to an editor.
These tools can alert you to overuse of adverbs, clichés, redundancies, overlong sentences, sticky sentences, glue words, vague and abstract words, diction, and the misuse of dialogue tags, to name just a few.
We have listed a few online resources for you which cover different aspects of the editing process such as spelling, grammar, logic, repetition and readability.
No software can replace an actual editor but a combination of tools can aid you in polishing your manuscript to a large extent.
Do your research and find the best editing software tool that suits you before you publish your book.
