What is the Writer's Mission Control Center?

A system that will give you a place to track everything you’ll want to keep straight over the life of your writing career, from your submissions to your reading list.

Yeah but what, what *is* it?

A web app to help you keep track of everything about your writing life, designed by Paulette Perhach.

Who is the Writer's Mission Control Center for?

It’s for any writer who wants a place to organize everything about their writing life, so they can focus on the writing part.

What will the Writer's Mission Control Center help me track?

• Your creative work: how many ideas, drafts, and published pieces you have

• Your deadlines: either for projects, such as applications, or assignments

• Your reading, both things you are reading or want to read

• The people you meet in the industry

• The publications you want to be published in

• When and where you submit your work

What does the Writer’s Mission Control Center not do?

It’s not a writing software, like Scrivener (though we’re fans!)

It’s not a to do list app.

It’s not an accounting software, though we help you track how much you get paid for certain types of work.

How do I know my information is secure?

Ok deep breath. Prepare for a technical deluge from our developer, who got his master’s degree in cybersecurity:

Passwords to the application are not stored. Passwords are hashed and salted (“Like hash browns?” Paulette asks. “No, like better than encrypted,” says Rafa.) before storage and so even with access to these stored hashes, it would be statistically impossible for the passwords to be reverse engineered.

All data is stored in a cloud database which is hosted by Google. Security rules have been set up which only allows access by single account, and only using OAuth2 authentication. This comes with the security of a Google Database, under an account protected by multi factor authentication. This way we do not handle the data, and the database access rules are tried and tested as a part of the service provided by Google. As such, we have a service level agreement with them for the database service.

The entire database is backed once every 24 hours, and the data is saved in a Google Cloud storage. This is left untouched until either it is needed, or it is deleted. We currently have a 30 day rolling backup in place.
