A Comparison Of 5 Novel Editing Platforms

Explore these 5 novel editing platforms to help you edit your book.

In a previous blog, we compared Novel Writing Platforms to help you find the one that suits you best. Which brings us to this question – What’s the one thing you should always do when you’ve finished writing your manuscript? Before you pop open the champagne and chocolate cake, you should type ‘The End’. Not only does it give you a huge sense of accomplishment, but it also delineates one stage of writing from the next. It marks the point at which you bury your manuscript in the back of a deep and seldom-used drawer, and don’t touch it again for three months.

For the sake of this blog, we’re going to assume that you’ve done that and are now ready to recover it from the drawer and switch from indulgent writer to ruthless editor. And believe me, that switch is very necessary.

Nearly every writing platform, including Word has a built-in editor help function. Some platforms exist only to provide that editor help. Some are free, some are not. If you want that online editing assistance, we can help. We’ve put together a comparison chart so that you can decide what editing-help aspects matters the most to you.
