RESOURCES FOR WRITERS

As Writer in Residence for my local library, I have been hosting office hours a few times a week. This is an opportunity for anyone in our writing community, whether they are fellow writers or simply curious, to come and ask me questions. Some of those questions may be useful for someone else so I thought it might be helpful to share my answers here.

THE PUBLICATION PROCESS

I have curated my advice and links to resources under a few different headings depending on which pathway to publication the writer wants to follow. 

Resources for the Do-It-Yourself crowd interested in Kindle Direct Publishing.

Resources for writers looking for an agent or small press for their publishing needs.

DIY BOOK COVERS

Depending on your publication path, you may have the opportunity to create your own book cover. I have a few recommendations. 

CANVA

Canva is a user-friendly versatile tool I have used to create book covers and other media involved with writing a book.

BOOK BRUSH

What I like about Book Brush is that it was created especially to meet the needs of book authors.
