Your copy is measured before anyone reads it

A headline gets a character limit, a subject line gets a spam score, and a meta description gets truncated in pixels rather than in characters. No other writer on this site has their sentences graded by a machine before a human ever sees them. This page assembles the checks that run at that gate.

An honest warning about what is not here, because it is a lot. This site has no keyword research tool, no SERP tracker, no brief builder and no CMS integration, and it is not going to grow one. The one database that fits your job is the paying-markets list, filtered to content and SEO markets; the contest, magazine and residency databases are for writers submitting their own work. This is the thinnest of the four pages here, and we would rather say that than pad it out.

Your copy scoreboard

Is Pro worth it for you?

No. Writer's Toolkit Pro syncs a submission tracker and sends deadline alerts for contests and literary magazines. You do not submit to literary magazines as part of your job, so there is nothing in it for you, and we are not going to pretend otherwise to sell a subscription. Everything on this page is free and stays free.
