Writing Resources
This is a growing list of writing resources for emerging writers. If you have any you’d like listed, please send me a note via my contact form!
Every time application season (which also coincides with New Years, the season of resolutions) comes around I get a sudden influx of emails from writers back home looking for MFA / writerly advice, and as I too knew absolutely nothing when I moved across the globe to pursue a writing life, I figured I would put something together. This is primarily geared towards international writers, who may not have grown up in places where information like this is commonplace, but hopefully it’s useful for anyone who stumbles upon this site. Take and leave as you will!
