Best Free Software for Writers

Need to edit a new book? Need to add illustrations? Need to convert it to different trim sizes? Need page numbering? Need the ability to convert to any file format including .doc and .pdf?

LibreOffice is your answer!

It's free, open source, great for Windows, Mac and Linux. It has no spyware, adware, or viruses. Why pay for an expensive editing suite when you can have this? It also comes with a PDF editor, a spread sheet generator, a publishing program, and more. It will also open nearly any file and save in nearly any format.


Now, do you need a cover, or internal art? GIMP is another free program, and it can do nearly everything Photoshop can, plus a few things it can't.

GIMP is also open source, good for Windows, Mac and Linux, and totally free.

It can do everything from enhancing and cropping photos to original digital art. It handles transparencies, layers, text, filters, and all kinds of other things. It will also open literally any format you want, and save files in any format you want. It's simply awesome.

Just search Google for either of these to find them.

And quit overpaying for your writer software!
