Re: Which tool you use it for writing your reviews

Post by Kammeuchechukwu Mark Okereke »

I always type out my review on Microsoft word as it is my most recognized workspace interface. I always attach the sticky notes app on the top right corner of my screen with the page on display being the highlights of all the important review-writing notes of the guidelines. Finally, I use writing aids like Grammarly and pro-writing as autocorrects to help with my tone and sentence structure.
Cheers! (ง'‿'︠)ง ♥

I use Google Docs and then several grammar and spell-checking software such as Grammarly to clean up my drafts.

I use Google docs most of the times. It is a great writing app and doesn't limit you to one device. Just a Gmail address and you are done. :D

I use Microsoft word . Its simple and basic . On editing some pros advise us novices not to become captives of tools but rather to use the eye. For now , I am following that advise.

There are many great suggestions here. I am currently using just Microsoft Word and Grammarly. Taking screenshots of important points is a great idea. I think it will come in handy while writing the review.

This is such a great question! I've just read my 3rd book; but I've only submitted 1 review and made the mistake of NOT using MS Word! I'm still learning how to do this and I'm using MS Word for everything; mostly because I wasn't aware of other options. I'm agonizing over how to write my review because the 1st one I wrote had a huge amount of improvements that could be made, which I'm taking as a positive! I want to do better this time.

I write on the go with my phone so I use WPS Office to write. It's much easy to use and with a good phone, it doesn't give any hassles

I use Word initially for writing my reviews and then run it through a few different grammar sites.

I use my phone almost all the times to write my reviews. Also, I do all the editing and grammar checks right there in my note pad before taking it to the review submission form in online book club. The process is easy.

Most times, I use my phone to do my reviews. Other times, I use MS-word office in my computer to write reviews. After the reviews, I proof read them before finally submitting them to online book club.
