Our take

ProWritingAid, founded in 2013 by Chris Banks, began as a personal solution to his own struggles with writing a novel about his South American travels. As a professional business writer, Banks created a tool to overcome challenges with this new style, and it has since evolved into a comprehensive writing assistant.

Unlike many tools that focus solely on grammar and spelling, ProWritingAid emphasizes the art of storytelling, offering in-depth analysis to help writers craft more engaging and effective narratives, whether for creative projects or business communications.

With over 3M users globally, ProWritingAid has made a significant name for itself. Fortune 500 companies leverage its tools for cost-effective staff training and to enhance communications. As it continues to expand its influence and provide value to its users, the future is bright for ProWritingAid.
