Resources for Writers
English Language and Usage
Ask your question about grammar, punctuation, meaning, word choice, word usage, etymology, expressions, and more. Thank you, Brenda, for letting me know about this resource.


Substack
There are many good places to read about writing on Substack.


I’m following Grant Faulkner’s Intimations: A Writer’s Discourse and Amanda McTigue’s A Strangeness That Was Us.


Kate Farrell’s Substack: Once Upon  . . . A Storyteller’s Memoir is riveting with an unusual twist . . . her memoir essays are threaded with fairy tale excerpts that tie-in with her life events.


What are you reading on Substack?  Respond, if you can, on Marlene Cullen’s Write Spot Facebook Page.

I’ll read your answers and comment there! One person has already commented and added Substack Writing Suggestions.

Just Write!
