| Greetings Members! Writing.Com is pleased to introduce a brand new item type! :: The World's Best "Job" :: Imagine a job in which you set your own hours, and live wherever you please: at the beach, in the mountains, in an apartment in Paris, London, or Berlin. As a copywriter, you can. Here's how you can learn the secrets of this little-known, lucrative business: http://thewriterslife.com/bb/wc44 :: Introducing: Documents :: With our new Document item, members* can upload MS Word DOC and Adobe PDF files directly into their Writing.Com portfolios! Both of these file types provide writers with the most flexibility available in formatting their writing. PDFs and DOCs are also the best files for printing work and the formats with which most agents and publishers prefer to work. Here's an example DOC Document:
Here's an example PDF Document:
When left rateable, Document items can be rated and reviewed, providing you with feedback from readers and fellow writers. They also have E-XGC content ratings and can utilize PassKeys! Document items can be kept private, for your eyes only and can serve as a convenient way to backup the files you keep on your hard drive. With all of the new viruses, you can never be too careful safeguarding your writing. Hard drives can crash. Floppy disks and CDs can be lost! Writing.Com's database is mirrored across 4 high-end servers and backed up more than 5 times each day! As each Document is uploaded to Writing.Com's server, it is scanned for viruses. The server's virus scanner checks for updated virus definitions every hour to ensure the most protection available. * Writing.Com Professional Membership portfolios can house up to 100 documents of up to 1 Megabyte each. Enterprise Memberships can house up to 200 documents. For more information our what Professional and Enterprise Memberships have to offer, please see: "Compare Free and Paid Membership Benefits"  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And don't forget to visit our sponsor: http://thewriterslife.com/bb/wc44 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for your continued support of Writing.Com! ~~ The StoryMistress  andThe StoryMaster  |
