Your writing business

Am I a writer or a publisher? Do I have the skills and capacity to be both?  The software and Internet offers writers using the Internet a lot of tools to run a business at the same time that its getting harder to be into the mainstream with a big publisher pushing your book or on a salary from a big newspaper.

This section tells you how to use Internet tools for aspects of your business, although we have separate sections for self-publishing for writers and for marketing including social media.

In this section we will focus on software that can help you with the performance of your writing business, including

• accounting and book-keeping
• project management
• time management

and other software tools that can boost your effectiveness both within your writing and as you make an income from writing.
