Prior to publishing I paste my text to Grammarly. It gives a lot of bogus suggestions, but does find many common mistakes that my brain otherwise ignores.

One thing I do think Grammarly is great at is removing local jargon from text. A lot of what I write is Pittsburghese which doesn't help globally with people learning proper British English.

For instance, saying something needs fixed vs needs to be fixed. I will never naturally say the to be, but that's proper English.
