Please provide more information.
What category is it?
Why was it rejected?

It was in exhibition & voyeur, although it has a few different elements in it as well, Interracial, bdsm, control.
I used Grammarly to help my spell check and edit and it looks like I’ve let Grammarly do too much as it was rejected because of AI editing

Grammarly, as I found to my frustration a few years ago, has a formatting process that will mean the AI filter here will check it as AI every time.

I ended up going back to a combination of notes, word/spell check and just re reading back and forth until it read “well” in my head.

There’s a lot to be said for older techniques of self editing.

DM me. I figure I’m already editing for someone else today and I don’t mind taking a quick look.

I have been editing for a friend, so if you need more eyes, let me know. I am happy to assist.

Grammarly is useful for checking spelling, misused words like your vs. you're, and obvious punctuation errors (especially in dialogue). Just don't let it edit how you compose and phrase your prose. Let the app off the leash, so to speak, and it can make your writing read clinically perfect which, I suspect, trips the AI detectors.

Exactly.

Self-edit as much as possible. If you also need to use Grammarly or a similar tool, make any changes yourself. But it will catch typos and incorrect usages and punctuation you didn't catch yourself.
