Resources For Writers

For ten years, I had the privilege of being an author member of Seekerville, a blog that inspires, encourages, teaches, and informs aspiring writers on the road to publication and beyond. Although Seekerville has been listed on Writers Digest “Best 101 Websites for Writers” in 2013-2019, it is also a blog devoted to readers as well. As an alumni of Seekerville, I highly recommend all aspiring authors to check it out, including the archives where you will discover a wealth of writing wisdom.

 

Because I put my heart and soul into everything I write, including blogs, I decided to list all my Seekerville writing blogs from the archives here for any of my readers who are embarking on the writing journey. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

 

In addition, I have been privileged to be included in a blockbuster writing tool called, “The Romance Writer Super Stack,” the #1 Bundle To Master the Secrets of Writing and Marketing Romance offered by INFOSTACK. I encourage you to check it out for the ultimate writing resource.

 

Then finally, I’m happy to list links to my writing books—Writing from the Trenches: Tips & Techniques from Ten Award-Winning Authors and Romance-ology 101: Writing Romantic Tension for the Inspirational and Sweet Markets, both of which are very reasonably priced.

 

Ready? Here we go!

SEEKERVILLE BLOGS

Following are some of my best writing tips which, I might add, I learned the hard way so that you don’t have to! Please keep in mind that these blogs are long past publication, so although the writer’s information is still pertinent, obviously all the giveaways and contests mentioned are no longer in effect.
