It even has the ability to change font size and you can have it read to you while you follow along. You can also make notes which can easily be looked up later.<br /><br />I've also put my manuscript up on Lulu and have a single copy sent to me which I can read through like a book, with my highlighter in my hand. It would make a good way for a beta reader to read and point out problem areas.Pat Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08824114343214016153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-38014850208712662662012-01-30T21:22:41.512-07:002012-01-30T21:22:41.512-07:00Karen - it's hardly a trick.

I have a writer friend who starts reading at the ending and reads the whole manuscript, chapter from back to front. And lastly, I use wordcounter.com. It counts words and I can see where I need to write fresher.Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-32113954458339033182012-01-30T09:00:27.451-07:002012-01-30T09:00:27.451-07:00I'm with them.
