About the company: "WriteExpress.com is one of the world’s largest software writing companies. It is owned by the WriteExpress Corporation and has been selling writing software since 1997. We offer assistance with letter writing, rhyming, and editing."

The big pitch: WriteExpress offers the perfect letter in just minutes, as well as a 30-day money back guarantee, and free shipping.

In 1989 Dr. Melvin Luthy and Robert Stevens created a rhyming dictionary for Word Perfect. In creating this project, they realized that non-writers had a real problem with respect to writing, and there were no tools available to help amateur writers sound like experts. It took until March of 1997 for them to make their breakthrough, but that month the pair released the WriteExpress Interactive Business Letters program as a tool to assist amateur writers, which eventually eveolved into the WriteExporess website. The company has won a number of awards, including the Zdnet 5-star Editor’s Pick, which means they’re not fooling around.

WriteExpress.com offers software with ready to use business letters, sales letters, and Microsoft Office templates. Additionally, they offer software that helps edit styles and creates rhymes. New offerings include novel writing software, dictionary software, a living will writer, e-mail help, instruction manuals, and PowerPoint templates.

In terms of delivery format, the website offers its product via software download, or you can purchase the CD and have it shipped to your home or office. If you have an Office Depot or Fry’s Electronics nearby, you can also pick up a copy at those venues.

There are no surprises with WriteExpress. The company offers samples of their work on the site, so it’s possible to see what you’re getting in advance and avoid any ugly surprises. Moreover, your satisfaction is guaranteed, since they will gladly refund your purchase price within 30 days if you are unhappy with the software for any reason. At all. Like, for anything. And since the company is a member of the Better Business Bureau, it is a fairly safe bet that they will ensure your happiness with their product, one way or another.

The product catalogue of this corporation is incredible. It seems to be growing by leaps and bounds, almost daily. For professional writers, these products can be a real time saver for ‘grunt work’, but for amateur writers, or simple businessmen who need a boilerplate business letter in a hurry, this software can greatly assist with expansion and the improvement of long term writing skills.

Their letter products, which are the most popular items on site, cover a variety of topics. These range from $20-$50 in price. If you choose to download the software, the download time can be a bit slow with a dial-up connection, but live in the now, slowpoke, and get a cable connection already!

The Product Trends rating: Five stars. If you’re looking for software that keeps you from writing some of your correspondence, this is it. They offer a great product to meet most writing needs. — Reviewed by Mindy Matter
