: Re: emacs for creative writing Does anyone know a good emacs configuration for creative writing? I'd be looking for the ability to write, edit, and export to libre office or word (so the less technical

This is an old thread, but maybe this contribution will still be helpful: I've written several books using emacs, and am also the author of the Woodnotes Guide for Emacs for Writers (not Coders) 1 and produced a cheatsheet 2 of commands and settings I find useful. Both are totally free/Creative Commons licensed.

If you're curious, on the same site you'll find an article I wrote about how I use emacs and other Linux tools to write books and another on how to make an epub from text files (for example, created using Vim or Emacs). I don't have a "10 reputation" so SE won't let me post more than two links. Have fun!
