The Writing Edge for Business Writers: 2/3/17

Feb 3, 2017 | Resource Lists

You’re a businessperson. You may not think of yourself as a writer, but you know that writing well can boost your results and your career. Naturally, you want to do better. Every week I point you to articles and blog posts that I think will teach you something or spark an idea or two. Some weeks there are more pointers than others.

This week I’m pointing you to pieces on tools for writers.

From Frances Caballo: Apps, Tools & Plugins for Indie Authors

“What follows is a big list of tools I’ve discovered and tested. (I know of even more but this post was growing too long so I had to pare the list down.) You may see some as distractions but what I’ve tried to do is provide a wide enough selection to provide options and appeal to meet the needs of different authors.”

Wally’s Comment: This is part one of a promised two-part set, but storms and floods of biblical proportions have disrupted Frances’ blogging schedule and part two is not available yet. But, not to worry, there’s enough value in part one to keep you occupied.

From Jane Friedman: My Must-Have (Digital) Productivity Tools

“This post is one that I regularly update with my absolute must-have digital tools that enhance my productivity, creativity, and digital-life sanity.”

Sources I Check Regularly

I find the posts and articles that I share with you on The Writing Edge in many places. But there are a few that provide insightful pieces again and again. Here they are.
