StyleWriter 4 Review



StyleWriter is the best editing and proofreading software on the market. Designed by professional proofreaders, editors and experts in plain English, StyleWriter brings together the techniques used by the best writers to help you write in a clear, concise and readable style. All other proofreading and editing software aids are usually just overpriced spelling and grammar checkers and little more than what you already have in Microsoft Word.
StyleWriter’s different. It shows 
you how to work like a professional 
editor. StyleWriter will show you 
how to simplify, cut and rewrite.

It shows you how to run the 
editor’s pen through your draft to 
produce a shorter, clearer and more 
readable style.

My Opinion
I thought this would be the prefect thing to review on my blog. As I review lots of books, I figured why not an editing program. 
As a writer myself I was surprised at how "wordy" this program loved to call me. Then again I like to run my mouth in real life, why the heck not in my writing. Though I will say it also like to tell me to use glue words or suggest taking out words. Sometimes I would and sometimes I just look at the screen like it was a two headed monster. It really all depended on my mood. I really love the face that it did get really big errors. Ones I must have been sleeping through or just forgot my coffee was really empty and I was just writing out my rear.
I totally enjoyed working with this program.
I honestly think some of the authors that can't afford a great editor could use this before making the mistake of publishing a book with horrid errors.
Yes, that does happen, I actually just read a book that had the word "AND" seven times in one sentence!!!!
This program would have totally caught that in a heartbeat!!!!
Here's what one of my reviews looked like...It was 45% wordy!!!!

I recommend everyone to go and give them a try....In fact Stylerwriter is offering everyone on a free 14 day trail........So there's no excuse for not checking them out!!!

Gavin Kincaid and the other Guardians have protected the Shattered City for centuries. But now he faces the one threat even his werewolf strength can't overcome alone: demons are attacking the city from within. His superior calls in elite Hell Hunter Nerine.

Gavin doesn't want outside help. But to his shock, he discovers he wants the beautiful tracker like no other woman he's ever met.

Nerine carries a secret that might just kill her. To protect it, she keeps everyone at arm's length, but her desire for Gavin may make that impossible.

My Opinion

I actually was taken aback by this story. I didn't really plan for what I was reading. I knew I was going to be reading about another shifter couple per se, but never would I thought of this.
Gavin being such a proud werewolf he thinks he’s got everything planned to the “t” in his mind of how life is going to work for him. So, when Demon Hunter Nerine walks in and destroys that way of thinking it’s a bit hard for him (in more ways than one *WINK*).
Nerine is everything Gavin HATES, a demon. He just doesn't know it and so reading how he falls head over tail for her is such a wonderful story. I’m beyond words. At times I do kinda feel bad for the mutt, I mean Nerine could have told him, but she had to protect herself. She was there doing her job after all.
I loved how the story of betrayal by one of their own guardians and the fact that hate reared its evil head played such an interesting place in this story. Yet, in the end they way everyone partner together, AWESOME! 
Our wonderful author gave way for more stories to take place in the realm of Shattered City. Which is great because I can’t wait to see what they do with all the sprouting Vampires!!!
