Publishing Tools
There are so many tools writers and publishers use to produce their content, wading through them might be 
quite confusing for many writers just starting out. Here are a few of the most popular that we know of, but don’t get stuck on this list. All you really need is a pen/pencil and paper to write, and an internet connection and email address to self publish! Go For It!
- Scrivener ~ A writing, compiling and export software program that let’s you write the way you think, then compile it into whatever form you want, and export for publishing.
- InDesign ~ A design software from Adobe that let’s you create just about anything, then export it to the proper format for publishing.
- Word ~ Duh…
- Pages ~ Mac’s version of Duh…
- PhotoShop ~ A design software from Adobe that let’s you customize your images and/or book cover.
- WordPress ~ We can’t talk about publishing tools without touching on marketing, and wordpress is the building block for your author website!
- BlueHost ~ the hosting service that best supports WordPress!
We will add to/subtract from this list as the market and our needs change, so check back, and contribute if you have other tools that rock for authors!
