Software and Net Tools to Make Your Writing Pop

David Hewson, Instructor

Computers aren't a substitute for creativity, but they can take a lot of the drudgery out of writing, and help you out of a tight corner when you need it. This is a no-holds barred master class in what you need to know about writing tools, research assistants, and free stuff out on the web - and the pitfalls you face if you think technology alone can unleash the author inside you.

David Hewson is best known as the author of the Nic Costa series of novels set in Rome, which is now translated into many languages around the world, including Chinese, Japanese... and Italian. But before he began writing thrillers he was a national newspaper journalist in the UK, and latterly the technology columnist for the London Sunday Times.
