Hello Writers,
This month we will be exploring some apps, four free and one paid, that can be useful to writers. This has been increasingly important because many laptops no longer come with built-in software like word processors. Your choices in this situation are often to pay a lot for an Office Suite, like Microsoft, or to use some minimal word processor that might be included on your laptop. This is made more difficult for writers because submission rules often require you submit in MS Word, or use a .pdf format. These apps help with these issues and provide the kinds of functionality that are useful to writers. Three of the four apps we will talk about work in ways very familiar to those who have experience with MS Word and MS Excel. So, join us Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 1:30 pm at the Madison County Public Library in Berea in one of the community rooms. We will have refreshments. At 4:00 pm we will spend an hour in an open mic session, so bring a small piece of your own writing to share, if you would like.
