Craft Resources


There are lots and lots of places to go on the internet for writing resources. I have visited a great many. Most are mush, consisting of shallow and trite copy (with vague promises of good stuff if one registers).

But there are some writers who've generously published (for free) amazing resources, ideas, and advice. Here are some:

Barry Eisler includes links to various topics including writing the book, getting published, marketing, resources for indie authors, and recommended reading. Links to tools for software also.

Rosina Lippi has heartfelt and sincere advice based on personal experience:  http://rosinalippi.com/weblog/
Her book Homestead is amazing.
