Annual Writing Software Review in Writer’s Digest
One of the Writer’s Digest features I most look forward to each year in the annual review of software for writers. This year’s review is now available in the August issue, currently on newsstands. I presume it will eventually make it onto the magazine’s website, but it’s not yet there.

QuickBooks Issues Free “Starter” Version
QuickBooks is the most popular accounting software for small business. It has applications that may be useful to some writers, particularly free-lance copywriters and other writers who provide services to business. Even so, writers would seldom need the full power of such software.
