Welcome to the Writer’s Technology Companion

UPDATE: This post was not meant to have been published; it was a draft I wrote before I knew what day I’d launch the site. Since it’s up, I’ll leave it up, but technically, the site launched two days ago, and there are already a couple of posts up that pre-date this one. Sorry for any confusion.

The Writer’s Technology Companion is now open for business. Starting tomorrow (Monday, March 31) I’ll be posting software and hardware reviews, tutorials, marketing tips, writing advice, and whatever else I can think of — all focused on how writers can make their tools work for them.

For the most part, posts will come three a week, though there will be times I’ll be posting every day. The focus is on the free-to-cheap range of products and practices; I’m assuming you’re on a writer’s budget.

Feel free to suggest any products you’d like to see me cover, or any other topics for that matter. My goal is to make this site as useful as possible for you, the working writer. Since my own writing exists mainly in the how-to, personal development, and academic spheres, there’s bound to be blind spots in my view of the writing world. I rely on your feedback to help fill me in on the areas I’m less familiar with.

I hope you enjoy The Writer’s Technology Companion. If you haven’t already, make sure you subscribe to the RSS feed or the email updates to stay informed of the latest news about the tools of our trade.
