As I’m still learning along the way, I wanted to include a few resources that helped me throughout my writing journey.

Websites & Conferences

The Writer Magazine

Detroit Writing Room

Michigan Writing Workshop

Masterclass

In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, my husband and I decided to use the time we gained (from commutes, kid activities, etc.) to learn and read. After taking a few writing classes, I recognized significant changes in my approach to writing, especially my voice and structure. My favorite instructors include: Amy Tan, Salman Rushdie, N.K. Jemisin and Joyce Carol Oates. Visit Masterclass.com to find the right class for you!
