My Favorite Places for Writing Resources

Whether you’re looking for writing prompts or tips to help improve your writing, there are a ton of resources on the internet. But how do you find the right blogs to follow? To help make your search for good writing resources easier, I’ve rounded up 5 blogs that I really admire and recommend to anyone looking for more online writing tools. While they’re all writing related, these blogs all have a different lens through which they look at writing. I encourage you to check out all of them. If there’s a writing website that you absolutely love and I neglected to include, let me know in the comments!

 

E.M. Welsh

E.M. (Emma) Welsh teaches writers how to tell stories in different mediums, covering everything from prose to screenplays and video games. As someone that comes from a diverse writing background, I love Emma’s mission to break people out of the box of only working in a single medium. You learn so much when you try new types of writing! Emma has great free workbooks, regularly hosts informational webinars, and also offers courses.

Writerology with Faye Kirwin

Writerology brings together together the worlds of psychology and storytelling to help writers tell spellbinding stories. The psychology focus gives such an interesting lens and Writerology has some great resources around writing about characters with psychological disorders. Faye also runs the Write Chain Challenge and hosts the weekly #storycrafter chat on twitter. Writerology was one of the first writing blogs I found when I started looking for resources a few years ago.

The Bookish Fox with Sarah Fox

The Bookish Fox comes from the perspective of a long time editor and book consultant, which means you get to see writing from all sides! Sarah Fox has worked as an English teacher, written four novels, and makes great pop culture references. If you want to hear from someone that has worked on both sides of the page, so to speak, Bookish Fox is a great place to start. In addition to editing and writing, Sarah also does book reviews, which means she spends a lot of time reading and writing/talking about books. Her post on being a book reviewer (link below) explains what she looks for when reviewing a book, all of which you should keep in mind as a writer!

E.A. Deverell 

E.A. (Eva) Deverell is kind of prolific when it comes to the creation of worksheets and downloadable writing resources. I first discovered Eva’s blog through her One Page Novel Plot Formula and was blown away by all the other resources she offers. Perhaps one of the coolest things that Eva offers is a free, complete novel outline that you can take and make your own. She literally plotted out a novel for you! Who can complain about not having any ideas when someone has outlined an entire novel and included and character bible and a world guide!?
