Friday’s Writer Links Sites
Writing definitely becomes much easier to perform if you have several resources available for assistance. I always turn to sites on the net when I am looking for information regarding my creative nonfiction writing. As I have dwelled mostly on writing the memoir in this week posts, I share here with you five sites that I have found to be very helpful in writing creative nonfiction.
These sites cater mostly for those who interested to write creative nonfiction like a memoir, essay or autobiography as well as writing fiction.
1. www.creativenonfiction.org– The journal devoted exclusively to the creative nonfiction genre. I haven’t subscribed to this journal yet, but I have read two of the founder’s books about writing: The Art of Creative Nonfiction: Writing and Selling the Literature of Reality
and Creative Nonfiction.
2. www.kporterfield.com - Lives Your Creative Vision. I find this site fascinating because there are so many articles written by this established author about tips in getting your writing done.
3. www.capturingmemories.com/tips-s.html - Helping you capture the memories of a lifetime. This site has a list of writing tips for the memoirist. As a beginning memoirist, I’ve found it to be very helpful.
4. www.memorywritersnetwork.com/blog/ – Record the stories of your life by Jerry Waxler. Jerry’s blog about writing is an inspiration to many beginning writers like me and he also has many links to other writing sites.
5. www.teacher.scholastic.com/writeit/memoir/ - Find your voice. Develop your craft. Publish your work. Scholastic, the largest publisher and distributor for children’s books, has this site dedicated to the young writer. It is very impressive that at such a young age, children and young adults are already on their way to establishing themselves as authors. This site provides an insight about what teenager’s like to write about.
Happy writing and have a great weekend. I will see you Monday.
