Writing Groups

• Competitions
• Anthologies
• Short Stories
• Flash Fiction

Our writing groups all meet monthly. We don’t write on the night, but members read work aloud and give and receive constructive feedback.

Contact a group coordinator in the first instance to arrange coming along to a meeting. You are welcome to try a couple of meetings before joining Cambridge Writers.

Long prose may include anything from novels to biographies and memoirs. At a meeting, members read extracts of their work and receive helpful feedback on their writing from the rest of the group. Depending on numbers attending, you will have around twenty minutes to read your piece and receive feedback. It helps if you bring printed copies for other members to refer to, and write comments on, which will be returned to you at the end. Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of each month.

Online Creative Writing

This group arose during 2020, as an online meeting conducted over the ‘Zoom’ platform. It works in the same way as the long prose group described above, with extracts read out by members and feedback given and received. Extracts are shared beforehand for these meetings, so that members can have a copy to refer to as a piece is read out. Meetings are held on the second and third Tuesdays of the month, and ‘Zoom’ links will be emailed to those wishing to attend. Darragh Peter Murphy assists Siobhan by running the session on the third Tuesday of the month.

Short Prose

Short stories and short non-fiction are read at this group. As a guide to length, we usually ask that work substantially over 2000 words be read over two meetings. It helps if you bring printed copies of your work to the meetings for other members to refer to.

Meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month.

Travel and Nature Writing

Godalming Writers Group

Godalming Writers Group (GWG) started in 2015. Initially, the enthusiastic members spent time chatting about their own writing experiences but soon they put together a series of short stories. The first Godalming Tales anthology was published in 2017.

GWG are a mixed bunch of men and women, schoolteachers, shopkeepers, bankers, IT specialists and retired people. What they share is the need to write so the publication of the first volume spurred them on to even greater efforts. Seeing the results of their labours in print resulted in a second volume which was published in late 2018. 

The third set of stories hit the shelves in 2020 and we are now working on a new compilation of short stories.

About Godalming

Godalming is about 4 miles south of Guildford with a population of twenty-one thousand. 

Those who have heard of Godalming (and there are plenty who haven’t) but never visited probably think it to be a town of rich people driving expensive cars with the head of a typical family (2+2) commuting daily on crowded trains to London which is only about 45 minutes away. That’s not altogether true, although the population growth of recent years is almost certainly due to more London-based workers moving in.

There is a strong sense of community and this is reflected in the number of cultural and sporting activities (a vast majority of them are voluntary) which take place all year round. Chief among these (of course) is the Godalming Writers Group (GWG).

If you fancy putting pen to paper (actually, tapping on a keyboard works better) and you live in, or close to, Godalming then you know there's a group of friendly people nearby. 

Whether you are writing a novel or a short story, or even a bit of poetry, feel free to contact us. We might even give a little advice and help you to publish your short story in one of our anthologies.

Local groups

We support a growing network of local groups across the UK and abroad, connecting SoA members at regular meet-ups and events. Run by members for members, local groups are a great way to meet fellow authors in your area, share knowledge, support and inspire one another.

Creative Writing

A.b., major, minor, unleash the power of language.

Guilford’s Creative Writing majors gain practice in the craft of fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry and playwriting while learning to move readers through the power of artful language. Turn your passion for books, reading, writing and literature into in-demand professional skills for a creative, idea-seeking economy.

Editors at CreativeWritingEdu listed Guilford’s Creative Writing program among their “Top Picks” for the best BA and BFA degrees.

The program offers both creative flexibility and structural coherence, allowing emerging writers to concentrate on a field of special interest like fiction or poetry, or to sample from a range of genres and courses. Classes are taught by accomplished and award-winning writing faculty who emphasize collaborative, workshop-centered learning; drafting, critique and revision of manuscripts; and practical editing and publishing skills and knowledge.

Students pursuing the minor study the formal and aesthetic conventions that shape literature and creative writing in its various genres; draft, revise and polish their own creative writing; read and study models in specific genres; and gain introductory experience in both theory and the practice of being a creative writer.

Our accessible and supportive faculty prepare you for a career in media, education, law, government, business and much more. Regardless of the creative path you choose, the bachelor of arts and minor in Creative Writing will help you discover how to wield the power of words to create the life, and the world, you seek.

As a Creative Writing major/minor, you can:

• Develop tools and techniques to craft your own original creative works.
• Contribute to Guilford's student literary magazine, The Greenleaf Review .
• Pursue an independent creative project.
• Join the staff of award-winning student newspaper, The Guilfordian .
• Craft a senior thesis, such as writing a collection of stories, poems, or essays, or a play for radio.
• Apply for student scholarships.
• Present research at the Guilford Undergraduate Symposium (GUS).

🥇 Best AI Writer for General Use

Rytr is an AI-powered writing platform with one of the largest footprints of all AI writing tools on the market. It’s an all-purpose AI tool that is handy for any diversified marketer. It has copywriting frameworks, templates for blog writing, and use cases for creating product descriptions. It also sports SEO integrations so you can write with the fullest confidence of keywords and semantic topical coverage in your work. You will never write quite the same again after using this.

Rytr uses AI technology to create high-quality content quickly and easily. Users can generate content for various applications and industries, including marketing, eCommerce, and more. The easy-to-use interface makes it easy to start, even for users without previous AI writing (or writing!) experience.

They’ve also launched Rytr Chat, which allows human writers to chat back and forth with its AI to generate tailored content iteratively that can be easily added to its long-form editor.

What We Like About Rytr

• Multilingual : AI-generated content is supported in over 30 languages, accommodating a broad user base.
• Templates : More than 40 templates and use cases are available, eliminating the need to write detailed prompts.
• User Interface : Features an easy-to-use interface, including a long-form editor and a dark mode option for eye comfort.
• Chrome Browser Extension : A Chrome extension is available that integrates AI writing capabilities into favorite apps like the WordPress editor and emails.
• SEO Integrations : It integrates with Semrush and SERPs for top content analysis to find accurate keyword research suggestions, which is beneficial with “Blog Idea” and “Blog Outline” templates.
• Plagiarism Checker: Rytr now includes a built-in plagiarism checker to compare its output against so that its AI-generated words are guaranteed to not sound like a robot.
• Tone of Voice Prompt: Like other top-tier AI writers, Rytr supports creating your own voice or tone settings. However, it does this via Prompt and not through uploaded sample content.

What Could Be Improved

• Content Depth : Rytr excels in generating short-form content but can struggle with depth and detail for more complex, long-form articles. Enhancing its algorithms to produce more in-depth analyses and comprehensive pieces would be beneficial.
• Contextual Understanding : While Rytr supports a wide range of languages and templates, improving its contextual understanding and accuracy in niche or technical subjects could make it more versatile and reliable for specialized content creators.

🥇 Why We Picked It

Rytr stands at the top of our list for a few reasons. It’s gathered millions of happy users worldwide while developing new tools and features. It is also one of the lowest-cost solutions on the market. Combining those things with its dead simple usability (not to mention its Chrome extension), Rytr doesn’t have many downsides.

Interested in learning about all Rytr has to offer? Catch our full Rytr review , where we go into every feature.

Who is Rytr Best For?

Rytr offers a free plan, with its starter plan costing as little as $9 per month !

🥈 Best AI Writer for Businesses

Jasper is another wildly popular AI writing platform (originally called Jarvis AI). It is home to some of the most powerful AI tools for writing long-format content, SEO content, blog posts, sales emails, and more. It also provides training, courses, and conferences around its feature set that gets a lot of traction among AI users. Jasper is probably among the more respected brands known for constantly iterating on their world-class AI solutions.

Jasper’s built for the more extensive writing operations among us. Generative content produced by Jasper is high quality, with plenty of tools that make the whole platform sparkle.

What We Like About Jasper

• Integration : Jasper integrates with powerful tools like Surfer SEO, Chrome, and Grammarly, enhancing its functionality at every turn.
• Support : Offers incredible documentation, support, and customer success training directly from the company.
• AI Art Generation : Includes AI-generated art with each plan, adding visual creativity to content.
• Collaboration : Provides advanced plans for team collaboration so multiple people can work on documents together (vital for teams).
• Up-to-date : It has access to real-time data via the internet, enabling it to write about news events from as recently as this morning.
• Company Knowledge: Not only can it write in your company’s brand voice, but it can save “memories” of important pieces of information that it can use while writing to have more accurate context and description of the particulars of your business.
• Pricing : Jasper’s is undoubtedly priced to be a business tool. They do not offer a free version or even something cheaper than ChatGPT, making other ChatGPT alternatives more attractive than Jasper on that point.
• Integration Depth : Jasper integrates with several tools for SEO and grammar, but deeper integrations, particularly with content management systems, could streamline the content creation process further. They’ve started this with Webflow , but more effort is needed for this to be a valuable enterprise tool.

🥈 Why We Picked It

Jasper has it all: a long-standing product with best-in-class features. It is widely used and has found its niche with enterprise and corporate marketing teams. It isn’t a copycat product of other popular AI writers out there, and it specializes in business use cases.

Who is Jasper Best For?

Jasper is best for businesses that need to speed up internal writing functions (like marketing, sales, support, and more). It’s relatively expensive, but you pay for its quality and simple editing workflow.

Still undecided? Take a look at our Jasper Review to see everything that it has to offer.

Besides a few mentions of it being hard to unsubscribe from, users love using Jaspers’s best-in-class features. They continually find value in the new features they release and how well done they are. Most customers are medium-to-large content or marketing operations.

3. Sudowrite

🥉 best ai writer for novel & fiction writing.

Sudowrite is an AI writing software built exclusively for stories and all content that uses even a little storytelling. It does not have the recipes/templates that some other platforms have but instead focuses more on a writing workflow than the parts and pieces of a particular work.

Sudowrite gives you a draft, suggestions, and editing advice, and it is more tailored toward creative and descriptive writing. While most other AI writing software focuses on business use cases and blogs, Sudowrite goes against the grain and offers something truly unique.

What We Like About Sudowrite

• First Draft : Sudowrite’s “First draft” feature can transform a simple prompt into 1000 words, streamlining content creation.
• Suggestions : Offers auto-complete and styled suggestions that are easy to integrate and relevant to your writing context.
• Enhancements : Utilizes “Describe” for adding captivating language and “Expand” for naturally extending sections of writing.
• Built for Writers: While some AI writers aim to replace writers, Sudowrite aims to make writers more efficient in their writing processes.
• Dialogue: Many people use AI for factual content, but Sudowrite helps with prose and narrative.
• Character Coherence : While Sudowrite is excellent with story writing, it can be pushed a little too hard if heavily used. This is noticeable in the discontinuity of characters and histories of events throughout an entire story.
• Credit System : Its credit system starts with a high dollar amount, where it would be better if there were entry-level plans that cost sub-$20 for hobbyists.

🥉 Why We Picked It

Writing takes many shapes, and just because you are reading an internet article right now does not mean that everything you wish to read and write is fact-based nonfiction. Sudowrites covers a massive corner of the market to help writers of fiction, poetry, and narrative with the projects they are passionate about.

Who is Sudowrite Best For?

Sudowrite is best for creative professionals in interesting brand writing positions or those crafting narrative, poetry, and other prose. It is also meant for storytellers of all kinds (poems, books, scripts) and delivers.

If you are on the fence about trying it, look at our Sudowrite review to see all its features and workflows that can help you with your creative writing adventures.

Not many reviewers have shared their experience with Sudowrite, but that makes sense for something created for creative writers. The cost can be a little high, and the writing tends to stray when the AI is forced to write too much.

No free plan with paid plans starting at $19 per month for 225,000 credits

• Brand Voice + Infobase:  Stores essential details about your business branding voice of important information that it should be aware of.
• Lack of Native Integrations : While impressive, Copy.ai’s workflows primarily run based on a limited number of integrations built into the system. Instead, users must know how to work with an API or use Zapier as an expensive connection solution.

Who is Copy.ai Best For?

Copy.ai is best for salespeople and marketers whether or not they work on a team. Teams stand to benefit from its Pro plan, which includes unlimited words, unlimited projects, and up to five user seats. See our article on how to use Copy.ai if you want more information.

Users of Copy.ai note its intuitive approach to content creation. The flexibility and its unique features make it well worth its time.

5. Writesonic

Writesonic is an AI writing software that packs a lot of features into its platform. Its free plan gives 10,000-word access to its optimized GPT 3.5 platform, while its paid plans can be powered by GPT 4. Writesonic also has innovative products like Photosonic and Chatsonic that bring even more AI-powered tools to its customers.

Learn more about Writesonic and its AI Chatbot, Chatsonic , with our detailed reviews.

Writesonic’s advanced AI technology allows users to generate high-quality written content quickly and easily. The platform also includes various advanced editing tools, enabling users to fine-tune their content perfectly.

What We Like About Writesonic

• AI Tools : Writesonic provides AI copywriting tools with over 100 templates for various content types, including blog posts and landing pages.
• Collaborative Editing : Features SonicEditor for collaborative editing, allowing multiple team members to contribute to a text.
• Landing Page Generation : Can generate and code out static landing pages along with the copy, integrating with Surfer SEO and Zapier.
• ChatSonic : All plans include access to ChatSonic, a GPT-4-styled chat solution with current trending topics awareness (also includes Photosonic for AI art generation).
• Brand Voice:  Stores information about the way your business speaks with its brand voice feature.
• Cluttered UI : Writesonic packs so many features under the hood that it can be a messy and confusing platform to navigate. We wouldn’t say it’s hard to use, but it can be a lot to take in and find your way through.
• Confusing Credit System:  Uses a crediting system where the base model used (GPT 3.5 and 4) can be toggled and those changes the amount of credits used per word.

Who is Writesonic Best For?

Writesonic is a comprehensive platform for marketers and content writers with AI tools for several writing tasks. Its fast pace of innovation means that any user needing generative AI content, images, or chat interfaces would likely benefit from the platform. It’s one of the better all-purpose AI writing websites with a free plan.

Overall, users love all the different features and sub-products available within Writesonic. Ultimately, its power as an AI writer is satisfying, and the output quality is quite good. Some have had issues dialing in their prompts, but that is an inherent challenge with any AI writer using foundation models.

6. WordHero

WordHero is another all-purpose AI writing tool particularly suited for business purposes. Launching on AppSumo with a lifetime deal with unlimited words, it’s quickly come into its own. WordHero suits on-the-fly content generation that you can paste into your documents of choice, like Word, a Slack channel, or a marketing campaign. Its long-form editor has come a long way and makes creating whole documents with the help of AI even easier.

There’s a dedicated and loyal user base that constantly suggests improvements that the team takes into consideration. So, it is likely the platform will continue to improve as it has over the last couple of years.

What We Like About WordHero

• Templates : WordHero offers template-based AI outputs for immediate use or integration with its long-form editor.
• Blog Content : Surpasses Rytr in generating compelling blog introductions and conclusions.
• Unlimited Content : Allows for the generation of unlimited content, adhering to their fair use policy. Released “ Enhanced Mode ” which uses better AI models which may have monthly word limits.
• Multilingual Support : Supports over a hundred languages, placing it at the top of the list for language diversity.
• Brand Voice: WordHero has recently launched brand voice features, which have been some of the most important features for other AI writing platforms.
• Advanced Writer: AI writing workflow for having WordHero output a coherent 2,000-word article in one fell swoop. Go from zero to the first draft in under a minute with this feature.
• Frequent LTD Sales: WordHero has been on AppSumo multiple times and even sells lifetime subscriptions on their website currently. This is great for early adopters but is an unsustainable business model for a SaaS company with costs every time an AI request is generated. This makes the future of WordHero a little murky although a great deal for those willing to make the bet on a LTD.
• Dark Mode: Dark mode in the editor is lovely to have, but some text displays as dark gray over the black background, making it very hard to use aspects of its UI. This is an easy fix but one we would like to see sooner rather than later.

Who is WordHero Best For?

Like Rytr and others on this list, WordHero is best for those in business or marketing. It creates excellent blog section content and does a good job with copywriting frameworks and product descriptions. It does not currently have advanced integrations, so it’s ideal if this is the only AI writing tool you expect to use in your workflow.

There are not many reviews of WordHero despite its large userbase. But take it from the frequent product updates reflected in the changelog, and you can notice they are answering many of their customer’s wishes.

No free plan, with prices starting at $49 per month .

7. Article Forge

Article Forge is an AI writing software built for long-form content creation. Put in a keyword, select some basic parameters like length, and Article Forge will forge ahead with a fresh piece of generated content.

Article Forge’s power comes from its ability to create a lot of content simultaneously. That is also its sticking point, which places more responsibility on humans to read, edit, and substantiate what the AI generated. However, it’s a refreshing change of pace from other AI tools that build content sections at a time until you’re done.

What We Like About Article Forge

• One-Click Creation : Article Forge generates high-quality, long-form content (1,500 words) with a single click, simplifying content production.
• SEO Optimization : Features built-in SEO optimization to enhance content visibility.
• Topic Filtering : Enables adding negative or excluded topics to refine content relevance.
• Natural Flow : Automatically creates content and headings that naturally flow, improving readability.
• Copy-scape Pass : Guarantees content will pass Copy-scape, ensuring originality.
• Over-Reliance Risk: Because of the features that Article Forge markets, it’s easy to think that AI-generated content is good to publish as-is. With the recent news breaking over social sites about “SEO Heists” (stories of how companies used programmatic SEO to generate hundreds of thousands of visitors in monthly traffic with AI articles, only to have Google apply manual actions against those sites and drop visitors to mere thousands per month) users should be wary of unhelpful AI content and how it can affect your website.
• High Cost: Article Forge employs a credit system that lets a user write up to 25,000 words for $27 per month. This is a high price since it costs more than ChatGPT while inflicting higher limits.

Who is Article Forge Best For?

Article Forge is best for more extensive content operations that want to increase their editorial output dramatically. Great for creating supporting content (clusters) in quick succession. It still takes work to edit and fact-check the output correctly, and it works even better when a human writer overhauls every paragraph. It also scores high marks on all major review sites, which tells us they are doing something right.

Many users enjoy using Article Forge since it makes it so easy to generate a long first draft. Some have noted its high price tag and others that they can’t reliably get articles longer than 750 words to generate.

No free plan with paid pricing starting at $27 per month .

8. Frase.io

• Advanced SEO Content Optimization : Enables content optimization for SEO with NPL topic modeling and tracks performance with Google Search Console integration to identify and address content decay.
• Integrations : Frase offers some really nice integrations (like WordPress, Salesforce, and Google Search Console), but expanding its integration capabilities with more third-party platforms and tools could streamline users’ workflows even further.

Who is Frase Best For?

Frase.io is ideal for content marketers or teams who want to write quality SEO content with AI to rank well in organic search. With GSC integration included in every plan, Frase is particularly useful for large content sites that rely on content decay warnings without manually checking each post every quarter.

Frase has spectacularly good reviews, as people love its approach to creating SEO content. It gets the content writing workflow down pat, making it a breeze to work through creating something that is publishable. Some users want more file hierarchy in storing AI written materials inside the platform, but that is relatively minor.

Starts at $14.99 per month with an unlimited content generation add-on for an extra $35 per month .

9. Surfer SEO

Surfer SEO is the premier writing AI that can help you rank #1 on Google. It does this by analyzing the top-ranking pages for your target keywords and then providing you with suggestions on how to optimize your content. This can save you a lot of time and effort and help you improve your chances of ranking higher in search engine results pages ( SERPs ). You may have noticed how many other AI writers integrate directly with Surfer—that’s a testament to what Surfer SEO can do for you and your websites.

Surfer SEO’s advanced AI technology allows businesses to optimize their online content for search engines quickly and easily. The platform includes various advanced SEO analysis tools, content optimization recommendations, and competitor analysis tools to help businesses improve their online presence.

What We Like About Surfer SEO

• Content Strategy : Surfer SEO creates content briefs and outlines based on top-ranking SERP results for strategic content planning.
• Content Score : Offers a content score based on SERP analysis, NPL, and other key ranking factors to guide content optimization.
• Plagiarism Checker : Includes a plagiarism checker to avoid ranking penalties and maintain content integrity.

Who is Surfer SEO Best For?

Surfer SEO, right now, is the go-to AI and NPL tool for SEO content writing. Likely, you want to pair Surfer with an advanced AI writer like Jasper or Rytr. Surfer SEO is the perfect companion for these fantastic tools and helps keep your AI content in the good graces of Google and other search engines.

Another SEO AI writer that scores really well with customers is Surfer. Surfer was one of the first mega-popular SEO writers, and it shows in their mature feature set. There are some idiosyncracies, among them being the price tag, but users love using it.

No free options with paid plans starting at $89 per month .

• Marketing Templates : Provides over 40 marketing task templates for creating diverse content, including product descriptions and newsletter emails.
• Depth of Analysis : While Scalenut offers comprehensive SERP and audience intent analysis, the depth of competitor content evaluation could be enhanced to provide more nuanced insights for content differentiation.
• Template Diversity : Although Scalenut provides a robust selection of marketing templates, expanding the range to include more varied content formats could further cater to the diverse needs of content creators and marketers.

Who is Scalenut Best For?

Scalenut is there for businesses looking to rapidly create content at scale to build topical authority and start winning in the SERPs. Lower pricing for SEO content than Surfer SEO, though with fewer integrations. It can be used by itself since it has plenty of AI content creation capabilities.

Users love Scalenut and say that its AI does a good job of writing articles. The only qualms are the high prices and the low credits available in their pricing tiers. That makes it a little less competitive, even though its feature set is top-notch.

The Essential plan starts at $39 per month for 100,000 AI-generated words.

Who is INK Best For?

INK is best for individuals and businesses needing unlimited content generation through 130+ marketing templates, a long-form editor, or fast paraphrasing. It’s also of great value with the addition of data-informed SEO tools and a plagiarism detector, and it generates AI images and written content.

Users enjoy INK and are glad that they’ve introduced a SaaS-based writer instead of relying on their legacy desktop application. Some do wish that its integration with WordPress was more reliable.

It reduces the work of SEO analysis of content (though it doesn’t replace the need for skilled search specialists and SEO strategies).

Users say the learning curve for WriterZen is a little high just because of the way the UI is set up. In addition, it would be nice if they had more team and collaboration features to work with. Other than that, its performance as an AI writer pleases most users.

13. ClosersCopy

ClosersCopy is one of the more celebrated general-purpose and marketing AI content writers on the market. It specializes in sales and marketing copy but is also very good for blog content using its long-form editor.

ClosersCopy’s ability to create and share frameworks means that there are even more possibilities and use cases for using AI to write niche content. Frameworks specially train ClosersCopy AI to do a particular writing task (such as AIDA copywriting or creating a product description). Most AI writing software limits users to the frameworks (often called use cases or recipes) to what is officially released by the platform. ClosersCopy gives users control over sharing their best frameworks that others can benefit from. It has put together its AI tools into a unique pricing model that many will find compelling.

What We Like About ClosersCopy

• Frameworks : ClosersCopy boasts over 700 frameworks, including those submitted by the community, offering extensive versatility.
• SEO Insights : Provides NPL-guided SEO insights within the text editor, leveraging live search results for optimized content creation.
• Workflows : Enables the stringing together of various ClosersCopy frameworks into a single generative output, streamlining the content creation process (ex., Blog Title -> Blog Outline -> Blog Introduction -> Blog Conclusion, all in a single Workflow).
• Slow Development : Some users have noticed slower development of new features. This is likely due to the developer switching priorities to a new AI writing platform called Copyspace. This has disappointed long-time users of ClosersCopy and is the reason why this product has moved down our list since our last publishing.

Who is CloserCopy Best For?

ClosersCopy is best for salespeople and marketers who need high-quality sales copy. Blog writers and affiliate marketers also benefit significantly from this software. For those looking for a more affordable option, Rytr has fewer features but a much cheaper rate.

There aren’t many reviewers for ClosersCopy, but the few that have left their opinions wish that there was more ongoing development and new features. They say that what once was an excellent AI writing platform has slipped into mediocrity a bit.

• Faster Content Marketing: There are copywriting AI tools to help your marketing strategy by generating high-quality content faster for marketing, product descriptions, and sales copy .
• Easy Content Updates : There are AI tools for rewriting existing content so your content remains fresh and relevant.
• SEO Content Optimization: SEO AI tools can use Natural Language Processing (NPL) based on keywords to help create quality SEO content . All the best SEO tools already use AI to help with advanced SEO techniques .
• Enhanced Creativity:  Story and creative AI writing software quickly generates innovative ideas and helps write illustrative content.
• Automate Editing Tasks: There are proofreading AI tools (like Grammarly ) that offer real-time spelling, grammar, and plagiarism checks to improve your content and ensure it is fit for publishing.

Suppose you’re someone in charge of writing or editing multiple types of content (on-brand copywriting, ad copy, long-form articles, stories, PR). In that case, you’ll probably benefit from having various AI writing assistants. With that in mind, let’s explore some of the best.

Comparing the Best AI Writers

Feature Comparison of Best AI Writers

Feature coverage is an important aspect of any tool. But, the highest number of features don’t always “win”—sometimes, the right few features are all it takes. Anyway, here is a feature comparison of our top three choices of AI writers. See if any of these tools has the right mix for you.

Price Comparison of AI Writing Tools

AI writing tools have pricing that is all over the board. From low-cost solutions to enterprise-level products, there is everything on this list. See which ones are closest to your price range.

What is the Best AI Writing Software?

Rytr is an excellent starting point for those looking for a budget-friendly, all-purpose AI writer. Jasper (with Boss Mode) and Article Forge are worth considering if you need to produce long-format writing. For creative writing, Sudowrite is the standout tool. We’d also be remiss if we didn’t say that Surfer SEO is one of the best companions for an AI writer, and if your writer has an integration, definitely consider getting it.

Interesting article. Thank you. Any particular reason why you didn’t include Agility Writer?

Sandra, there are just too many to cover them all. Plus, others on this list are similar in scope to the tool you mentioned. Glad it was helpful.

Have you had any experience with Bard AI yet? I was expecting to see it on your list but maybe that’s because it hasn’t rolled out to everyone yet.

Susan, I have used Bard, but we will include that on a different post coming out in the coming weeks. Bard is solid, but it’s still early days. I like using it over ChatGPT when I need a concrete answer. I don’t like using it for any task that requires too much creativity. We’ll see how it only improves over time.

A really useful article to read, I’ve been using the Bertha AI toolkit now for some time, before the AI world exploded. Also well worth a look!

Hey Steve, there really are so many great (and not-so-great) options out there these days. Bertha AI looks like a great AI Chatbot for WordPress. Here in a few days, we’ll have a post dedicated to chatbots. Thanks for your thoughts!

Lol.. great article… and of course I desperately need to know how you did that “expand list” functionality in the introduction!

What about Katteb? It is a Long-Form AI writer that aims to provide fact check information and does some more job to enhance the quality of work.

Thanks Outboxed! In the spirit of AI tech, you could consult ChatGPT and see if it can help you create something like that for your sites.
