Sure do. Love it. When you buy the desktop app, the web app gives you the same functionality for when you're away from home.

Re: Grammarly fee structure? (5 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I tired Grammarly and didn't like the way it worked. I settled on the pay version of Pro Writing Aid. One year is only $50. I love it. There is a desktop app as well as a web-based version. It has a free component, but I opted for the paid version withi n a week. Go to the Pro Writing Aid web page and use the web-based reporting system. All the functionality is there, the only limitation(s) are chapter length and something else (I don't remember what).
If you like it, the LIFETIME is only $175.

You Only Love Twice book cover art is currently 5th
I used to be in the numbers for Authors, but somehow I got pushed off the list.

As did I, Janet.
It would be really great if they put number of votes beside the poll results

Re: Self-publishing, Agent, or Straight to Publisher - What did you choose (4 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I started a publishing campaign that spread to over five months. I sent a total of 53 query letters and such. I received 50 rejection notices. I found that self-publishing using KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is easy. They even provide free desktop tools to aid you in taking a DOC/RTF/DOCX file and making an Amazon eBook formatted file fit for publication. There is even a free cover designer that allows upload of your own artwork. From raw input to being available on Amazon was 18 hours.

Re: What time of day do you buy books online (5 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Wouldn't a lot of that depend on where a person is? 2000-2200 in Ohio is 0200-0400 in the UK and 1600-1800 in California?
(I'm kidding. I know you mean local time wherever you are.)

Re: Best books on how to write? (17 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
"The Writer's Little Helper" by James V. Smith, Jr. I bought this book two weeks ago and absolutely love it! I have 15 or so yellow sticky tabs poking from the edges where the author has made a point. It's got great stuff in it.

Re: You Only Love Twice is now published! (17 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Amazon says it will take up to 48 hours for the e-book version to be put up. The print one goes up right away because it's print-on-demand and the manuscript is already there. Apparently, the e-book has to go through some deeper formatting and such.
I have yet to get an email notification for this thread and I was the one that started it.
