Friday the 13th Fun: 13 Top Products in the Writer’s Digest Shop

I know Friday the 13th is supposed to be an unlucky day, but I prefer to take the day and look at what can make me better—a better person, a better dad, a better writer. There are a lot of great WD tools that have helped me with the latter. And I’m not alone. Bestselling authors like Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer have credited some of their early success to Writer’s Digest and Writer’s Market. Even John Grisham has said that this article that originally appear in WD gave him the tools to write The Firm. What item has helped you?
