Software's for writing. In this lecture, we're going to talk about software's that you could use for writing. This is where you're going to develop your content word for word, paragraph by paragraph, chapter by chapter, until it becomes your ebook. We need a writing software like Microsoft Word. If you have the paid version of Microsoft Office suite for Windows or the office 365, then you're ready. If you're using a Mac, you can use pages.

But if you don't have this, no worries. There are many free alternatives to Microsoft Word or pages and function just the same. The best ones that I recommend are open office and Google docs, Open Office is a software that you need to download and install in your computer. Well, Google Docs is a free online web writing platform from Google. Depending on what suits you best, you can choose between a downloadable software or an online platform. Only.

Keep in mind that you need to have a good internet connection when you choose to use Google Docs. Although you may also have an option to work a need offline. After writing your ebook. You will need to convert it to a format acceptable but the publishing platform that you're going to use. Amazon Kindle now supports various formats like doc and doc x, HTML mobi, EPUB RTF or Rich Text Format, blink text PDF and Kindle package format. We'll go into details of this in another video.

Meanwhile, if you're publishing in your own website, you will need a PDF or any format that can be safely and quickly download that in the web. So you may need a file converter that converts your Word document file into HTML or PDF or one of these file formats. How do we do that? Actually, if you're using OpenOffice or Google Docs, you can perform the file conversion within the software. This option is available when you choose file in the main menu, and then choose the Save as or download as then you will see a selection of file formats that you can choose to convert Your document into, however, should it be the case that it won't work for you, or you need an external file converter, then no problem. Again, there are many free online tools to choose from, you can try using the following software's by going through their URL.

The one on the left side is to convert doc to HTML. The one on the right side is to convert doc to PDF. Now you know your options, so use which one you like the most. And your file will just be what it's needed to be when we're in the stage of uploading them in your chosen publishing platform. Know that to have more options of free online PDF Converter software's. You can also do a search in Google using the phrase PDF Converter usually You will have to upload the file to be converted and they automatically download or other send it via email when conversion is done.

The next software that we need is something that will help us write like an expert free of spelling and grammar mistakes. What are they? These are the software's that check our document for correct spelling and proper use of grammar. It's like availing editorial services to check our manuscript. The only difference is this one comes free. The two software's that I would like you to test out are one is called ginger which you can take a look at ginger software.com slash grammar check.

The second one is Grammarly dot com slash one. Just a note. Grammarly is not yet mobile friendly. So you will need to Use it through a computer but ginger. It has a mobile app which makes it very convenient and quick to use. always run your document through a spelling and grammar checker before submission.

Make sure that it is clean and free from accidental typo errors. It will help in establishing your name as an author, especially if you're thinking of publishing regularly.
