This software is so cool!!! Developed by Tom Dullemond in Australia, it is the perfect solution for keeping track of your writing projects, especially if you're an active freelancer. It allows you to manage many different kinds of projects, many of which can be defined by the user. It tracks markets and potential customers. It reminds you when a response is due from a submission or when an assignment is due. It allows you to keep records of submission results. It tracks financial performance, and much, much more. It comes in several performance levels, with the lowest level operating as freeware. The top, professional level is under $50, so it really is quite reasonable. I researched the market place for similar software and tried a few. This is by far the best. Click on the underlined Write Again above to obtain a free trial download.

This is a brand new service, and we find it very exciting. For a reasonable fee, post your book on this site. It screens and registers professional reviewers and reviewing services like ours. Reviewers scan the genres, and when they see something they are interested in, they make an email request through the service and the posting publisher has the option of sending a review copy or not. It costs less than the Book Sense Advanced Access email program and focuses on reviewers instead of bookstores. As hard as reviews are to obtain these days, this is a priceless service and we recommend it highly!

Desktop Marketer
Desktop Marketer is the cutting-edge new software that is the first to bring 'direct-to-desktop' marketing technology to the small-business market.
E-mail marketing is becoming more and more difficult in light of new spam laws, increased filtering, and hoardes of vicious spammers making it tough to get legitimate e-mail into the inboxes of the customers and subscribers who want it.
And that means it's time to look for new ways to reach online audiences to build relationships and, ultimately, increase sales.
With Desktop Marketer, you can bypass e-mail altogether and deliver messages STRAIGHT to the desktops of your customers' and subscribers' computers.
That means you have a constant, private communication channel that is NOT filled with other people's messages and is NOT interrupted by third-party "filters" or "blockers" -- so your messages get read every time... guaranteed!
The best part is that this technology is SO NEW that only the wealthy Fortune 500 companies have used it until now... So people using Desktop Marketer to send promotions to their customers and subscribers now have an incredible "first-to-market" advantage over their competitors -- at least until the rest of the small-business market catches on!
