There are so many writing sources out there in the world, and I’ve listed some of my favorite books, but I’m a bit biased about my favorite teacher: Holly Lisle. She’s my mom.

Yep. I was raised by a writer! I was lucky.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or a seasoned writer, Holly has something for you.

My favorite two courses of hers are How to Think Sideways and How to Revise Your Novel, but there is a free course (How to Write Flash Fiction that Doesn’t SUCK!) that can help you get something done faster than writing a full novel - and maybe you’ll be able to even publish it and start earning an income as an author.

Holly’s Writing Classes

There is also a tremendous community in the forums, a mix of newbs, pros and in-betweens that are helpful, enthusiastic, and, most importantly, always writing!

As Holly’s site says “If your dream is to write good fiction and get paid for your work, these classes and this community are for you.”
