Resources for Writers - Merryn Glover

Here’s a list of websites, resources, organisations and ideas, mainly for writers, but also anyone who loves literature. People sometimes contact me for advice saying they want to write but don’t know where to start. Here’s one place: Starting Your Writing Career. And here’s a page with a helpful breakdown of the whole writing process, recommended to me by a young writer, Amelia!
