A digital mentor for your sentences, the app provides clarity and reinforcement while keeping you in the rewrite driver’s seat
The good writing app
Created in the spirit of Good Writing by Anne Lamott and Neal Allen, this Good Writing app works like a thoughtful writing companion, never a rewriting machine.
It helps you recognize the little decisions that quietly shape a sentence’s impact: what’s singing, what’s wobbling, and how to shape the line so it sounds unmistakably like you.
No watered-down voice, no algorithmic varnish—just a writing improvement app that helps you grow your own sentences, one clear moment at a time.

How it works:
Learning by seeing
Step 1:
Choose a rule
Choose which rules you want to focus on. The Good Writing app trains you on the rules that matter to you
Step 2:
Insert your text
Paste a short text, whether a short story or an email, that you want to improve.
Step 3:
Review and rewrite
The app highlights words and clauses that might be improved, explains what seems to be missing, and invites you to make a change. All edits are yours.
No grades. No auto-fixes.
Just insight and encouragement.
About the app
The Good Writing app is a friendly tool that shows you places for potential improvement, sentence by sentence.
Unlike typical AI programs, it leaves the rewriting up to you. It’s an interactive reinforcement of the lessons in the book, as well as an online editor that catches weaknesses.
