The Beast

Have you heard about “distraction-free” writing software but don’t know which apps to try? Have you searched for writing software that does more than emulate a typewriter? If so, this might be the field guide for you. We assembled this book—which introduces and reviews twenty-one different writing applications—to help you find the writing technologies that best fit your project and process.


This book was written and edited by Professional Writing students at Miami University in the fall of 2014.
