Online resources and programs for editing guidelines/help/proofreading

[CallMeMacaroni]

Hi everyone. I have been editing a friend's story and have a good idea of what direction she should take, but I was curious if there was a resource online that many of you have recommended/use for tips and tricks, resources to follow, any sort of assistance? It can be simple guidelines to AI reviews for spelling and punctuation and any suggestions from you all would be a great benefit.
Thank you so much in advance.

Beware that AI reviewing can lead to stories being rejected. Not saying you can’t use them, but you need to be aware that they are not perfect.

Grammary is ok, but Grammary has never met a sentence, couldn't rewrite. Editor in Word works best. AI is milk toast at best. Let me know what works best for you.
