Over the years, we’ve covered magnetic hacks for professionals in a variety of fields (e.g., Magnet Hacks for Musicians). If you’re a professional writer, you may have felt left out of the conversation, but we’re here to remedy that. Whether you’re a novelist, poet, journalist, ghostwriter, screenwriter, or a technical writer, you can use Apex Magnets to organize your writerly workspace, optimize inspiration when it strikes, and display your favorite works (whether they’re your own from another writer you admire). Sharpen your pencils; it’s time for magnetic hacks for professional writers.
Organize Your Workspace
If you’re a writer, regardless of whether you’re more organized or chaotic by nature, you have a lot of papers floating around — musings, manuscripts, professional portfolios, newspaper clippings, awards, etc. Unreliable paper clips are a thing of the past. They’re easily bent, broken, and lost. Instead, use our chrome-coated duckbill magnetic clips. They can hold up to 16 sheets of paper (8.5” x 11” 20#).Another alternative to tired paperclips are bendable silicone magnetic clips. Most writers (if not all of them) are avid readers. So, stop folding down pages or losing your grocery list when you turn it into a bookmark. Use the clip instead! Of course, they also make great cable organizers, which is especially helpful if you’re the kind of writer who works primarily on their laptop or who needs to listen to music while they work.
Optimize Inspiration
When writers start working on a big project, having a highly customizable visual display of inspiration or strategy is invaluable. This could include artwork, snippets of dialogue, sources, plot charts, deadlines, etc. Use permanent magnets, including duckbill magnetic clips to hang your inspiration up on a ferromagnetic surface, including a whiteboard, drywall with metal behind it, filing cabinets, or a wall with magnetic paint. Trust us, it’s better than using sticky notes or tape, which, in addition to being annoying, can also peel the paint off your walls.
