How It Works
Professional editorial feedback in three simple steps. No setup. No learning curve. Just better writing.
Upload Your Document
Upload your manuscript in PDF, DOCX, or TXT format. Best-Edit accepts documents up to 200K tokens (roughly 150,000 words). Whether it’s a breaking news story, a long-form feature, or a press release, just drag and drop to get started.
Get Expert AI Analysis
Our 4-tool editorial system analyzes your work against professional journalism standards:
- LocalNewsEditor — News writing best practices

Revise With Confidence
Review AI suggestions in the interactive editor. Accept, reject, or modify recommendations. Your conversation history is saved so you can revisit feedback anytime. Every edit is a suggestion—you stay in control.
Why It’s Different
Built by a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
Not just engineers. Best-Edit was created by someone who’s lived the newsroom grind and knows what editors actually look for.
Based on actual newsroom editorial manuals
Not generic grammar rules. Our standards come from real editorial manuals used in professional newsrooms across the country.
Understands journalism-specific standards
AP Style, inverted pyramid, nut grafs, attribution rules—the standards that matter in professional journalism.
Feedback like notes from a senior editor
Not a spell checker. You get thoughtful, specific editorial guidance that reads like feedback from someone who’s actually edited copy on deadline.
