I have some goodness I want to share with you but before that I want to ask you 3 quick questions

  1. Do you do any academic writing? CVs, research papers, thesis, dissertations?

  2. Does you work include tables, figures or citations?

  3. Do you waste time formatting and reformatting papers? 

  4. Did you get frustrated when you’re wasting precious  time fooling around with formatting issues instead of focusing on what information you’ve painstakingly created?

If you answered yes to any of these I have another question for you….

What if I told you there was a better way to write your papers without wasting time on formatting?

Here’s the goodness I wanted to share with you…LaTeX is the answer! It’s formatting program built with the academic in mind and literally takes care of all that! 

LaTeX (pronounced LAY-tech or LAH-tech) is a typesetting program that completely takes care of formatting and lets you, the scholar, focus on the knowledge you're sharing. You may have heard of LaTeX and heard that is only for those in physical science fields, but that is absolutely false! LaTex isn’t just for those with a bunch of math equations in their paper. LaTeX will work for you if:

  • your work includes any tables or figures

  • you maintain a CV

  • your paper, thesis, or dissertation has references (which every one does)

  • you spend time on formatting papers for class or research

  • you generate your research literature on your own, typically getting input for revisions and editing

  • your collaborators use LaTeX

LaTex will make formatting woes a thing of a past, so you can spend more time focused on writing your paper.
