Resources for Writers
Hi,
I'm Sandy Richardson, Editor-in-Chief of Southern Sass Publishing Alliances. Thank you for visiting our website and browsing through our pages. I hope you find interesting and useful information that will assist you on your path to publication.
Below you will find a list of books and on-line courses, as well as a few workshop recommendations I have found most useful to my own writing. Many are from my own years of studying the craft, some more recent discoveries than others. You see, even after twenty plus years of study, reading, and writing, I still feel there is so much to learn.
If you're new to writing and publishing, or if you've been at it a while but you're not having the success you'd hoped for, please browse the information below. I can personally recommend each and every book and on-line course listed here because I've read the books and taken the courses myself.
Best of luck with your writing!

On-Line Courses and Workshops: Highly Recommended: any course with Margie Lawson!!!! Hands down the best specialized courses I've ever taken. Very reasonably priced courses. She also offers lecture packets from her courses for $22 that detail everything covered in the on-line course, in case you missed out one. These are wonderful resources you will refer to again and again. I can't say enough about them. www.margielawson.com
