I really don’t like that only the paid version has a direct publishing option to Wordpress. At this point, I’m sacrificing entirely too much time reformatting. I’m currently trying out both the Hemingway and INK platforms (was so fired up to have found INK), INK offers a Wordpress plug-in so you can upload directly to your site. Has also helped improve our writing and gives suggestions on how to rank more competitivelyin search engine results.
you can download the app and Wordpress plugin here: http://bit.ly/2ZIT8ht
