>For that use, I think "proselint", as zx321 recommended, is probably a perfect start, as it references the source of the recommendation.

I see that, I will give it a try. Cant hurt.

>(in terms of cost, though, you can get a decent editor for closer to the ~$300 mark for up ~60k-70k words, but of course if you're not intending on putting in a lot of effort - and more money - to market and sell it, that may well be too much too)

Lets say there was a magical machine learning perfect editor for free. I input my trash and I get an amazing copy out.

I might try marketing and selling it. I have put lots of effort into the book. Afterall just getting 75,000 words down is good effort by itself.

The problem is that I put this in grammarly or prowriting aid it finds thousands of problems. You fix them. Then put it in another grammar thing and it finds thousands more.



Yeah, Grammarly etc. is great for short things like e-mails and the like, but it's a massive pain for anything of any complexity...
