Track Changes

In the grey corporate offices of GlobalText Solutions, Jim Witt is hiding - from his past, from his emotions, and from the fact that his shirt is currently inside out. Jim is a man composed entirely of caffeine, red pens, and regret. He moves through documents with the grim efficiency of a battlefield surgeon, amputating adverbs and nursing a hangover. He doesn't use Grammarly; he is Grammarly.

Betty Barylowicz is done hiding. Armed with a bob cut sharp enough to kill and a PhD in translating sad-man-speak from a childhood spent managing a volatile father, Betty is a force of nature. When she storms up to Jim's desk to debate the serial comma, she doesn't just disrupt his morning - she disrupts his entire worldview.

From 'office spouses' sharing memes to co-presenters arguing that Die Hard is the ultimate guide to clear writing, Jim and Betty find a rhythm. But when tragedy strikes Betty's family, the banter stops. Desperate to help the woman who brought him back to life, Jim orchestrates a secret, high-stakes career move that might turn everything around... or drive it all off a cliff.

It's the perfect plan. Until it isn't.

Funny, heartbreaking, and fiercely intelligent, Writing for Humans is a love letter to the messy first drafts of relationships.
