The Best Black Friday Deals for Writers {2020}

by Women in Publishing Summit | Nov 20, 2020

Updated for 2020!

As writers, we can easily spend hundreds, even thousands,  of dollars on tools, programs and more that we hope will help us in our craft. Heaven knows, I have spent countless dollars myself. I really wish I had a list like the one I'm about to share below, which is not only carefully curated but all are discounted for Black Friday, including my own course, Grow Your Author Platform.

I do want to note that I'm an affiliate for some of  these products and programs, but I don't promote anything that I don't think is a good fit for my readers, and some of these tools I use myself! 

If you missed out on getting a discounted ProWritingAid license during the 2020 Women in Publishing Summit, you're in luck because ProWritingAid is first on our list!  ProWritingAid created their software based on the same ideas you would learn in a university writing course. The software addresses readability issues such as passive and hidden verbs, over-reliance on adverbs, repeated sentence starts, emotional tells and much more. These suggestions are the same as a professional copyeditor would give you (in fact many of them use ProWritingAid). By tightening your text upfront, your editor will be able to focus on the more important aspects of your work, such as tone of voice, narrative and character development. You’ll get a more polished piece of writing as a reward. Valid from 11/23 – 11/30.

On Black Friday, you can get up to 50% off on a ProWritingAid License. 

(25% off a 1-year license or  50% off a lifetime license)
