      It has been said the internet is the greatest advancement of communications since the invention of the printing press. It is a fact, that for the first time in history, getting your works published and read by millions of people, is possible for virtually anyone. Numerous story sites accept and welcome submissions from professional, amateur, and aspiring writers. Starting your own story web site, (which we encourage), also gives you an outlet for your creativity, and a place to call your own. We have listed what we consider invaluable resources for aspiring writers and webmasters. All of the programs in the webmaster listing were used building this and many other web sites. All are user friendly, and have relatively short learning curves. We encourage you to spend some time here checking out these tools and resources. Consider the amazing possibilities!

NOTE:

    While it is always nice to find quality programs that are free, it was not and will never be our criteria for listing them. All of the free programs you find here are listed because we use them and they have been the best ones for the tasks they perform. Most of them have far more features than listed here. We are not connected to or afflilated with any the programs listed.
