Usefull Software

  • Self Publish A Book! – My free little software that helps you prepare the various formats you need to distribute when self publishing.
  • WriteMonkey – a simple full screen text editor. It’s what I use to write my first drafts. It’s free. You can see my little review of WriteMonkey if you’re interested.
  • OpenOffice.org – who needs word anyway? I use OpenOffice to layout my text into a good looking pdf. It’s free.
  • Inkscape – a vector based graphics editor useful in cover creation. It’s free.
