Markdown Linting
markdownlint is a node.js markdown linter that is easy to install and easy to customize. It is based on an earlier Ruby tool, also called markdownlint. Both are great, but the Node.js tool is easy to install and easy to customize.

Writing like a pro with vale & neovim
You can try proselint, which also has built-in support in null-ls. Its LaTeX support isn't perfect, but it's workable.

Is there a reliable Grammarly package for Emacs?
Vale uses a customizable grammar checker, and you can download some open-source configurations to start working with from the link above. Then, you just need to add something like below to your Emacs configuration: (flycheck-define-checker vale "A prose linter" :command ("vale" "--output" "line" source) :standard-input nil :error-patterns ((error line-start (file-name) ":" line ":" column ":" (id (one-or-more (not (any ":")))) ":" (message) line-end)) :modes (markdown-mode org-mode text-mode) ) (add-to-list 'flycheck-checkers 'vale 'append) (setq flycheck-vale-executable "/usr/local/bin/vale") It looks like you can do something similar with Proselint, which looks wonderful and I have been meaning to try using in my day-to-day: https://unconj.ca/blog/linting-prose-in-emacs.html .

Proselint is not a VIM plugin. It is a separate tool described as a linter of English prose. Here are some of its features:
