Tools

Over the last decade, I’ve lost track of the thousands spent on writing tools, an array of books and apps.

Some of those books resonated with me, and made a lasting impression. That’s why I store the best of what others have already figured out in my writer’s database. It’s from that digital warehouse I glean the insights to write fiction and posts.

I share those insights and synthesize into practical know-how, recommending only those books, services, and apps proven to enhance your writing.
