The cool techies here at the About.com network recently introduced a tool that allows you, the reader, to interact with the site. Anywhere that I've posted a review, you also have the chance to review the same product.

For example, in this list of the Top Ten Books for Writers, many of the titles also have a review written by me. You'll notice a blue box at the bottom of my review. By clicking on that box, you can write anything you want about the product.

Try it out! Other readers want YOUR thoughts! Agree with me- fine! Disagree- probably even better! Let me- and other writers- know which products are worth a second look. . . and which aren't!

Speaking of gifts for writers- don't forget the NEO by AlphaSmart, which is a great alternative to lugging around that heavy laptop! Take a look at this review of the NEO. It just may be the perfect addition to your gift list.

Readers, I've put together a list of the Top Ten Books for Writers just for you and your loved ones. These are all books that we've reviewed or talked about in blogs here at About Freelance Writing. I hope you find something to move your career forward! Be sure to forward the link to those looking for ideas for you. (I did!)

I am quite pleased with the recently published book "Kick-ass Copywriting in 10 Easy Steps." Although I've written copy professionally for a while, this book has definitely taken my game to the next level. The author, Susan Gunelius, is an expert- as evidenced by the fact that she's taken a somewhat involved field and managed to distill it down to the information needed by beginning copywriters, all without dumbing it down, and still providing information for intermediate copywriters, too! Even if you're currently writing copy, it's worth checking out.
