\nWrite Sweet and Short Prose like Hemingway<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
If you’ve been advised to write like Hemingway, it’s one way of telling you that your sentences are too clunky and could use some trimming.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Keeping the desirable quality of the brevity of Hemingway’s writing in mind, Adam and Ben Long developed a writing app that grades the readability of your writing from 1-15. The lower the rank, the clearer your writing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

How to Use the Hemingway Editor<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
The Hemingway Editor is very easy to use. You can paste or type text into it. The app uses color-coding to convey how complicated the sentence is. For instance, if there is a red highlight, the sentence is dense and it would be a good idea to work on it. A purple highlight indicates that a longer word can be replaced by a shorter one. A formatting toolbar is also provided.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In this example, the highlights focus on adverbs and the use of passive voice. Readability is also graded. You can use this app to assess your own content. A few tweaks based on the suggestions provided can clean up your copy.<\/p>\n

Hemingway Editor: Recommended or Not?<\/h2>\n

Highly recommended tool.<\/p>\n
