Some of my favorite writing sites and books:

Favorite Writing Groups & Books:

  • Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers https://rmfw.org/
  • Women Writing the West
  • Sisters in Crime (brothers welcome too & they have local chapters)
  • Bird by Bird by Ann Lamott (a personal “very” favorite), largely essay-like (her strong suit)
  • On Writing by Stephen King (a personal favorite and biographical)
  • The Writing Life by Annie Dillard
  • The Art of Character by David Corbett
  • Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint by Nancy Kress
  • Joseph Campbell: A Hero With a Thousand Faces. A must read, but it is tough to get through–very weighty, but his “Heroes Journey” is used by fiction writers and script writers https://www.amazon.com
  • The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
  • Chuck Palahniuk: Consider This: Moments in My Writing Life after Which Everything Was Different (note: a decidedly “male” approach to writing for us women who need to better our plot/dialogue technique)
  • Anything by Donald Maass (brace yourself to feel inadequate however)
  • Manuscript Makeover by Elizabeth Lyon
