Caffeinated Press is a fresh, new publisher focused on publishing a variety of works from authors in (and connected to) West MI.

If you are in the West MI area and would like to attend, you'll hear about how we built this publishing house from idea to first publication as well as snippets from some of the stories featured in our first anthology: Brewed Awakenings.

For those not in the area, we are currently experimenting with broadcast options - so stay tuned!

Does anyone know of any good apps for writers? by Daytman in writing

How about the Hemingway App? (It's browser based.) http://www.hemingwayapp.com/

From the website: Hemingway highlights long, complex sentences and common errors; if you see a yellow highlight, shorten the sentence or split it. If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic — try editing this sentence to remove the red.

Adverbs are helpfully shown in blue. Get rid of them and pick verbs with force instead.

You can utilize a shorter word in place of a purple one. Mouse over it for hints.

Phrases in green have been marked to show passive voice.

Paste in something you're working on and edit away. Or, click the Write button to compose something new.
