    About this ebook

    Evernote® : The Free Online Service for Organizing Your Projects

    If you scribble notes on the back of envelopes and napkins and then manage to forget the idea or where you put the napkin - you need Evernote. This service will organize all of your projects and ideas into online file folders, keeping them safe until the day you hit the Delete key. 

    Evernote : The Key to Uncluttering Your Desktop, Your Browser and Your Brain

    If you're a writer you won't believe how you survived before you started using Evernote. And I'm not only talking about people who write for a living - I'm also talking about people who write for business or school. Evernote really is the storehouse of

    • random thoughts
    • meeting notes
    • research
    • images
    • book outlines
    • project outlines
    • audio interviews
    • deadlines
    • assignments
    • collaborative notes

    in other words - anything you need to remember. In fact, Evernote is so good at what it does that the company's motto is Remember Everything. 

    Don't Risk Losing Important Writing or Research 

    Back in the day it was easy to stuff pieces of paper into a filing cabinet. Chances are that once the paper was filed you rarely went back to it. Even now, you may use your computer as a filing system - exchanging metal file drawers for hard drive Folders and Sub-Folders. But even that system has its limits. That's because it relies on you remembering the names of folders and files. 

    With Evernote, the entire system is graphical - that means you can click on an Evernote folder and instantly see the picture of the website, screenshot or image you saved. Which reminds me - did I mention you can also save audio and video files? And, Evernote syncs perfectly with your tablet, iPhone or Android. Evernote has such a powerful on-board search engine that all you have to do is enter a word or two and it will pull up everything you've saved that fits the search criteria. You don't have to remember anything because it remembers everything.

    Who Am I and Why Did I Write This Book?

    I’m both a self-published and traditionally published author, who maintains a fulltime writing business. I write about topics as diverse as self-publishing, writing, history, genealogy, and technology. When not writing, I’m off building WordPress websites or photographing the frontier west.

    Because I work on so many different projects and for such a variety of clients, I quickly discovered the need to organize all of my research and writing in one place. As I no longer keep paper files, I needed a service that replicated the ease and organizational structure of a filing cabinet and hanging files. Evernote was that service. But in all honesty, I didn’t immediately embrace it. It took about six months of stops and starts before I realized just how big a difference Evernote made – not only in researching a book or a project, but also in the writing process.

    Since creating Evernote folders for all of my current and future projects, I no longer have to search through a stack of paper to find the exact piece of information I need. And I’m not stumbling around the Internet, trying to re-find valuable sites I hadn’t bothered to bookmark.

    Today, Evernote is my go-to online service for stashing ideas for blog articles, ideas for new projects, client meeting notes, marketing thoughts, web clippings, contracts, and notes about each project. Not to mention audio notes and video clips I’ve created.

    Because it’s not unusual for me to come up with a new book idea while still working on a current project, Evernote gives me the luxury of keeping all of my notes in one – very organized – location. Once you start using Evernote, I doubt that you’ll ever return to paper.

    In this book, I’ve done my best to introduce you to the magic of Evernote – and more importantly how you – the writer – can make it your default research and writing assistant.

There are more than 4,000 successful students currently enrolled in my courses. I hope you’ll join in. Email nancy@nancyhendrickson.com if you have questions or need more information:
