ImageI'm happy to announce I just completed the Woodnotes Guide to Emacs for Writers, available at this website. Emacs is a complicated but extremely powerful text editor with a number of valuable tools for folks that make their living off the written word. Last updated: 4 July 2007.

I regularly use emacs with auctex and LaTeX for writing LaTeX documents. Emacs has lots of features that facilitate this process but most emacs documentation concentrates on tips for coders, not writers. I wrote Emacs for Writers (23 pages) to bring out the commands and options that support those who write text, not code. Find it here: (PDF | HTML).

If this is useful to you, you might also be interested in the Emacs for Writers Cheat Sheet (Reference Card) I wrote to accompany the manual. It shows important commands in chart format (3 pages, PDF).
