Apps and tools authors can't live without - Build Books Buzz

Today Panzer made a quick trip to the Build Book Buzz site. With a little digging in the posts our busy kitty found one about apps and tools for writers.

Word and Scrivener are listed too.

Site owner Sandra Beckwith's post contains apps and tools for writers to make their work easier and save them time. The post contains descriptions and recommendations for 20 apps and tools. Sandra Beckwith asked assorted authors in her Facebook Group about their favorite apps and tools. The list is alphabetic and starts with Book Brush and ends with Word Swag. Some of the apps and tools have free version options and others don't.

Panzer says, "Mom and this little kitty have used some of these, but I've got to admit I never heard of the Save the Cat one."

Note: This is a long-medium length post. Bring a cup of cocoa and a large muffin for today's reading. If you plan to follow the links to the different products, you'll have to decide what you want to bring to eat and drink.

How To Convert Your Doc(x) File To epub

Easy and FREE!

Panzer was tootling around in the Catosphere not looking for anything in particular today.

He found a post at Gordon Burgett's Blog about converting .doc(x) files to epub format. That's a topic he's been wondering about for a long time. My bad boy has been using Smashwords to do all of his ebook distributions because he didn't know how to convert to epub.

Burgett's post has instructions for converting your .doc(x)s using Calibre. Now don't get too excited. It's not hard. His instructions are step-by-step and easy to follow. And ... best of all: Calibre is FREE.
