The Writing Software.Guru can help you

Word processing software may feel like a maze – it’s menus and indecipherable little icons preventing you from getting to your novel.

I can help.

I demystify the tools and show you, not how to write, but HOW to write.

My name is John Gwinner.

Your novel is in a maze
Open the door

We show you how to avoid wandering in the maze

Word's Ribbon

Can be confusing - you just want to get to your novel

About the Writing Software Guru

I have been using Software to write with as long as the PC has been around. I’ve converted the Marine Corps to modern PC word processing software, installed “Groupware” to the Marine Corps Reserves, spoken professionally to the Gouverneur Chamber of Commerce for business literacy, and converted over 400 corporations to using Oracle Enterprise software.

Word Processing

I can teach Microsoft Word, Open Office, and Google Docs. I’ve been covering these subjects extensively more than 15 years.

Screenwriting

I have a certificate in Screenwriting from UCLA. The techniques I learned in class were all about how to write a screenplay, but not how to use the software that does it. I can cover several different screenplay programs, ranging from the industry standards, to other (and better) pieces of software, to free software options.

General computer literacy

In addition to the other two major forms, I can speak about other general technology and computer literacy; including how to use spreadsheets such as Excel or Google Sheets to calculate  character timelines/chronologies, and other quantifiable numbers. If you don’t get your facts right, your readers will!

Easy and Simple Technology Services for Writers

John Gwinner has provided technology services to grunts and executives, geeks and fashionistas. He can help you with any writing technology.

Presentations

John has been giving technology and writing presentations for over 15 years. He can speak on a number of topics that help writers create their worlds easier, faster, and more creatively.

FAQ's

This website will collect the tips, techniques, and high speed, low drag techniques to help you write better, faster, and stronger. If that sounds like the Six Million Dollar man, don’t worry – we’re more modern than that, and it’s all free

Books

John is currently finishing up a book on Web-VR, for Packt publishing, and is working on a book with the FAQ’s from this website called “3 clicks 2 one book.” Look for it soon.
