A Portable Text Editor that Keeps You Organized
Liquid Story Binder XE is a uniquely designed word processor for professional and aspiring authors, poets, and novelists. Writing software for those who require the editing ability of a commercial text editor as well as a document tracking system. It is for those who want the freedom to create, outline and revise but are tired of losing track of their work
Word Processing for Novelists
Liquid Story Binder XE is specifically designed for fiction writing. XE includes all the standard features such as spell-checking, thesaurus, smart quotes, templates, font and paragraph styles -- everything you need to write your next great novel.
Pick and Choose Flexible Features
Pick and choose the file types that work best for you. Liquid Story Binder never tells you how to write! Flexible file types allow you to use your imagination. Use a Dossier for characters, places or things, or a Builder to preserve important snippets.
Liquid Story Binder Features: Multi-Window Display, Spell Checking, Thesaurus, Reference Notes, Timelines, Story Boards, Mindmapping, Plot Outlines, Dossiers, Audio Recorder, Image Galleries, Reader, Manuscript Formatting, Time and Word Count Tracking, Chapter and Book Backups, Paragraph and Punctuation Cleaning, Toolbars, Templates, Portable Drive Install, Universal Search, Repetition Visualizer, External Editing, Project Goals, Playlists.
Chapter and Scene Based Writing
Liquid Story Binder XE can clean and combine many small documents into a single, font-unified manuscript. Use a Chapter Builder to quickly arrange complex scenes.
Advanced Outlining Tools
Timelines, Outlines, Mindmaps, Dossiers, Sequences, Journals, and Storyboards. Liquid Story Binder XE provides the tools you need to plan your next great novel.
Create the Perfect Working Environment
Choose a color scheme that suits your writing style. Save window positions and open files for quick and easy access using Workspaces. Open dozens of windows simultaneously - or just a simple textbox centered in the screen, free of all distractions.
Full Screen Editing
Even though Liquid Story Binder is packed with features, sometimes less is more. Liquid Story Binder XE offers full screen editing, a feature that removes all distractions including menus and title bars.
A Typewriter for your PC
The Liquid Story Binder Typewriter is the ultimate tool for distraction-free writing. Like a mechanical typewriter, users are prevented from editing previously written text. There are no specific formatting options, no scrolling, deleting, or revisions. The Typewriter tool doesn’t even allow you to use the backspace key. It forces you to write, to move forward, to add new words. It halts the temptation to linger, revise, and correct. Turn Liquid Story Binder into a typewriter for your PC.
Many Features in a Very Small Download
The Liquid Story Binder XE installation package is only 5MB in size!!
Universal Search
Liquid Story Binder XE can search every Chapter, Note, Builder, Timeline, Storyboard, Outline, Dossier, Mindmap, Journal, Sequence and Backup for a single lost word or phrase. Can't remember where you wrote that important paragraph? Just use XE's Universal Search.
Simple File Formats
Liquid Story Binder XE uses basic TXT, RTF, and ZIP file formats guaranteeing future access no matter what software you use.
Try Liquid Story Binder for 30 Non-Consecutive Days. Full Vista Compatibility!!

Book Marketing and Publicity: Leading-Edge Lessons for New Authors
A Two-Part Course by Book Publicity Expert, Andrea Burnett
Marketing and publicity are to books what oxygen is to lungs: Without them, book sales suffocate and die. This course is designed for new authors who want a comprehensive understanding of the vocabulary, concepts, and techniques of book marketing and publicity in this new media landscape. It is geared toward those who are interested in thinking "outside the box" when it comes to marketing and PR strategy in the highly competitive publishing industry. This course also provides a complete background on how the world of publishing works.
Through lectures, guest speakers, case studies, and hands-on projects, you explore the complex relationship between what consumers need and what you, the author, can offer. You’ll learn how to get the most out of working with your publisher or how to manage your own book launch. You’ll learn how to develop a structured approach for the successful execution of product and channel marketing, advertising, and publicity plans for your book. You’ll discuss integrating the Internet and social networking into your own marketing and publicity plans, researching and staying ahead of your competition, developing innovative strategies, and organizing and attending the appropriate special events and signings. Enrollment is limited.
ANDREA BURNETT has over 20 years of experience in public relations, advertising, and marketing management, and is the owner and president of her own PR and marketing firm, Andrea Burnett Public Relations (www.andreaburnett.com). Prior to launching ABPR, Burnett held senior-level PR and marketing positions at Chronicle Books, IDG Books Worldwide and Macmillan Publishing. She currently has a portfolio of clients from publishing houses across the country and has garnered national media attention for all of her books, including Oprah, The Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, MSNBC, CBS Early Show, Martha Stewart, NPR, New York Times, People, Wall Street Journal, Publisher’s Weekly and more.
FEE: $200.00
