299: Spot Your Habits and Build Your Skills — Interview with ProWritingAid Founder Chris Banks

Hey there word nerds! Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing Chris Banks!

Chris Banks is the CEO and Founder of ProWritingAid. In his varied career, he has built neural networks to model language learning, worked on the BBC’s scriptwriting product, written books, been a ski guide, and given talks on creativity, artificial intelligence, and language technologies.

He started ProWritingAid to help with his own writing, but he soon saw how useful it was for everyone else. Now, he wants to help more people put their ideas into words and those words into the hands (and hearts) of readers.

In this episode Chris and I discuss:

• How a broken ankle led to the creation of the ProWritingAid Software
• How ProWritingAid can help improve your writing 
• Approaching writing like building a building
• Taking your writing from good to great
• How a thesaurus can be a powerful writing tool

Plus, his  #1 tip for writers.
