Recently I asked AFW readers and members of a forum to suggest their favorite free online tools for writers. Before narrowing it down to the top ten (which will then be posted here), I’d like your feedback.

Click the link below and choose up to five of your favorite tools for writers from all of the suggestions given by readers. I’ll leave the survey open for a week before posting the top ten choices.

    http://www.bartleby.com/ This has got style guides, dictionaries, Gray’s anatomy.
    Google Sketchup (mock up of the setting can be done with this) and Google Earth (research of the geography of the area in which the setting takes place is extremely easy to do here)
    Open Office – tend to like Word’s method of creating styles, but Word can’t make PDFs. Open Office is free and still quite good for basic document creation.

  2. Steven,

    The suggestions for the list already closed when the survey was put together. I do believe I included a write-in option there though for anything that didn’t get into the suggestions over the last few weeks, so feel free to vote for Sketchup or Bartleby that way in the survey – OpenOffice is already a choice there. :)

  3. Wow, there are a lot of options there. I took the survey, but it took a while since I was going and looking at all the the things I never heard of. Great to find another source like stockxchange, and RememberTheMilk & the CEOPrintable look really cool! Very nice list.

  4. A lot of the things people suggested were new to me too. I LOVE StockXchng though (www.sxc.hu for those who aren’t familiar with it). I’ve never found a better free stock photo source. I also use their paid stock photos (stockxpert.com) and like them much better than iStockPhoto.
