I've taken a look and tracked down some reviews of this new facility, which only recently was opened to the public. I can see how this facility would be useful to writers, especially when they reach the editing, production and marketing stage when other people become directly involved. I especially like its simplicity, with email as the automatic trigger to update and maintain a schedule. I've added this facility to my very long list of tools for further exploration -- I may well do a fuller review on this blog later on.

I was fortunate to attract a small team that helps me with the manuscript and marketing. I am collaborating with an administrative group of 4 -5 people. However, it was extremely difficult to track our progress at first. It took a great deal of communication and time to follow up on assignments etc. Then my administrator and my manuscript leader found Wrike.com http://www.wrike.com/ and presented it to me. It seemed too good to be true to find an online service this good for such little money. This system allowed me to track who was on which assignment and what progress was being made. What a difference that made in my life! I was now able to have a work spread sheet. Our team is now able to see our progress and book momentum. By the way I like the fact that I can communicate with the Wrike team, they are very helpful. I highly recommend Wrike to every writer. Even if you are not supported by a group of people, Wrike will organize your personal activity and you’ll definitely see the results.
