Writing Resources
Need help writing a non-fiction book? Want to know some of the best books for writers? Or how about what writing software and tools are available to help you write and self publish your book?
On this page you can access all that as well as discover other writing resources for authors including a list of Australian Writers Festivals, best podcasts for writers, writing organisations in Australia (and overseas) as well as a list of Australian printers who print books.
‘ASK ME ANYTHING’ CALLS! I’m also offering paid 30 minute or 1 hour one-one-one helpful calls if you have specific questions about your book, your writing process, how to publish, or need some inspiration for your book marketing plan…basically whatever you’d like to ask, I’m happy to talk you through and help you find a way forward. You can book a one-on-one Zoom/call with me about your book project here. This kind of call can really speed things up for you, help you focus, re-motivate you, solve general writing and publishing problems and help your book project’s momentum.
