Re: Best writing software for my odd book? Help appreciated

There is really no such thing as "book writing software." There are literally hundreds of books online that will help you format your book and tell you how to propose it to a publisher. Do some research and I can guarantee you'll find all sorts of good stuff. There is one website that has ...
