20 Resources For Better Writing
If you think your writing skills are perfect, that you know every punctuation mark and how to use it properly, and that editors are for those other writers, not you…
…you need to read this post and damned fast.
Trust me. Everyone who believes they’re *that* good usually needs some serious help. Help is what Freelance Writing Gigs offers in this great resource list of 20 places to take writing courses online – from basics to you-name-it.
I’ve checked a couple out – this is affordable stuff, people, and the return on investment is well worth it. If you’re debating, stop it. Take a course. If you’ve always wanted to but never got around to it, do it already, would you? If you think you’re a good writer but just want some feedback, sign up.
LEARN, people, LEARN!
The only thing I wished? To see some recognizable universities and colleges on that list.
But I’m happy. It’s a good list, from what I can see.
If you’ve ever wanted to brush up on your writing skills, update your grammar knowledge, hone your business writing for your blog, or get some help with creative writing, then get it. Now.

I saw the list and signed up for a few courses. I’m always looking to make improvements.
Give us your feedback on them, Opal. We’re interested.
Fabulous list–there are plenty of smart, literate bloggers out there, but there are also too, too many who, well, aren’t.
You have no idea. We receive applications and emails from people who quote us years of experience, a long list of degrees and all the wonderful reasons we need them.
And it’s littered – and I mean littered, as in worse than my cat’s box – with mistakes.
Interestingly enough, it’s always the writers and bloggers who are the good ones doubting their own abilities and talents. I see some amazingly fantastic writing and along with it goes the ever-sensitive, “Are you sure it’s okay? Have you found any grammar issues that I need to work on? Honestly, all your feedback to improve would be really welcome.”
Why is it the good ones don’t realize their own value?
Great post James. I am of the opinion that one should never stop learning. I constantly study as much as I can. I feel like the day I stop learning will be the day I need to stop writing.
Thanks, Hope.
That reminds me of my old riding coach. He used to say – often – that there’s always something to learn. You’re never finished.
I think it was his way of keeping us from getting too cocky
Great post. There are a lot of tools out there right now. It’s easier than ever to brush up on your writing.
Thanks for sharing.
