Do you know all the different parts of a book?
For instance, what do publishers mean when they refer to the “front matter” or “back matter” of a book?
Also, what is a preface, and how is it different from a prologue, an introduction, or a foreword?
Is that a trick question? And is possible for your book to have all four of these?
[Not really. And you’ll soon see why?]
You have a great book idea, and you know that, with a little help, you could create something that would entertain your readers or help them with something.
And you’re thinking, “I want to write a book, but where do I start?”
You need book writing help. And just reading a stack of writing books or skimming through blog posts isn’t getting you past your messy first draft (or maybe even the first page).
You need an accessible human guide who knows what you don’t (yet) and who’s as invested in your book’s success as you are.
Welcome to our post on 13 solid reasons you should hire a writing coach.
If you are a writer and you don’t have a good keyboard, you probably end up in pain at the end of each day.
The fact of the matter is that many keyboards just are not designed for heavy use.
We want to help you find some of the best keyboards for writers, ones that are very ergonomically friendly for maximum comfort.
While most writers prefer a full-size keyboard for their day-to-day work, that’s no reason why a writer needs to sacrifice the portability and convenience of a tablet.
In fact, for writers who want or need to write wherever life takes them, whether they are in a café, on a train or airplane, in the office or on the beach, a tablet can be a fantastic way to take your work anywhere you need to go.
Today’s tablets have many of the functions and features of laptops.
They can be fully-featured work machines for writers who need comfortable interfaces, fast research, comfortable typing, and intuitive multi-tasking — more than they need lightning-fast processors or huge amounts of onboard storage.
You’re shopping for a writing laptop. And the options… let’s just say they’re overwhelming. And that’s just for the ones you can afford.
Computers for writers come with so many different features. Some have Microsoft 365 included. Others have touchscreens and can convert to tablets.
And then there are Macs, which are in a class all their own.
If you don’t know exactly which features you want (and which ones you can live without), you’re bound to feel lost.
But we can help with that.
Welcome to the AuthorityPub list of the 9 best laptops for writers on a budget.
You’ve heard about Kindle Unlimited, and you see references to it whenever you’re book-shopping on Amazon.
But what does it actually do? And does it make sense for you to join?
Or is Amazon Prime — and Prime Books — a better fit for you? What does Kindle Unlimited give you that Prime doesn’t (and vice-versa)?

While many professions require being on a computer all day, writers have a specific set of needs.
Because they type all day, every day, their keyboards need to be particularly functional, comfortable, and ergonomic, to avoid repetitive injury over time.
A good keyboard should help to support you in becoming a better, faster, and more focused writer.
Since no two writers are the same, you should also be choosing a keyboard that fits with your writing goals and lifestyle.
