About this website
There are lots of websites about how to write better, and lots of websites about how to use technology better. The aims of this website are:
to marry these two objectives, to create a website about how writers can gain the most from technology;
review books that writers may find useful;
explore different avenues of creative writing;
consider professional writing practices.

Affiliate fees
I am a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to www.amazon.co.uk.
Book reviews
Unless otherwise stated, the books reviewed on this website have been provided free of charge by the publisher. This has not influenced the content of the review.
Miscellaneous freebies
As a blogger and writer I occasionally enjoy free tickets for events, such as the London Book Fair. This does not influence the content of my articles about the events.
Corrections
I do try to get it right first time, but sometimes a website will change, more information comes to light, or someone points out, or I discover, that I've made a mistake. When one of those things happen I tend to do one or more of the following:
Write an article pointing out the error.
Keep the original article if it was error-free, and simply publish an updated version of it.
If the information in the article is still relevant, but needs a small correction or update, I republish it with 'Updated' in the title.
If I spot a typo or a formatting error once I've published an article, I tend to correct it but not highlight it as such.
If you see an error, please email me.
How this website is financed
This website is a labour of love: it costs me more to keep it going than I earn from it! I subsidise the website from my earnings from consultancy and freelance writing.
About Terry Freedman, the author of this website
Terry Freedman BA, MA, PGCE, ANCUP, FRSA
I am an independent consultant and freelance writer, resident in the UK. I publish this website, the ICT & Computing in Education website, and the newsletters Terry Freedman’s Books Bulletin and “Digital Education”.
I love writing, almost exclusively non-fiction, and about educational ICT and computing. I've contributed articles to a wide range of British and overseas journals, both print and online, and had over 12 books published, and self-published quite a few too.
