I have the free version of Grammarly and I find it helps most with spelling errors or sometimes phrasing, but that's mostly for very technical writing. When I'm writing something looser and more stylized, I find that I often disagree with Grammarly on comma usage, so it's mostly annoying.

That is kind of what I think, it feels more formal. They just keep getting in my head, “ I’d only you pay for it your manuscript would be perfect” 😂

If you're interested, I just posted a sub-1000 word draft of my long rhyming picture book discussed above. It's in the member's online critique section of this board.

Hi all!

Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone on the forum who helped me so much this past year during the production of my picture book! I had a lot of ups and downs with the publisher, and with it being my first publication, I so appreciated all the wonderful advice everyone gave me in figuring out how to communicate in a professional way, even when I was frustrated. The good news is, the book finally came out, and I'm pretty happy with it for a first book

So thank you all again so much for your help along the way! It was invaluable and I so appreciated you all sharing your wisdom with me!

We haven't discussed the rise in verse novels, and even verse chapter books. If that trickles down, a longer rhyming PB may be just fine. The thing is, we can only discuss what is out there now, not what may be in the pipeline or happening when your work would be published.

I've been known to look things up in a grammar textbook. I also use https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/purdue_owl.html. Look at the menu on the left and click General Writing.
