The Best Tools and Resources for Writers
Emma Walton Hamilton / Recommended Resources

Many of my writing students and editing clients ask me about the tools, resources and services I use to support my writing, marketing and publishing efforts. I have gathered several of my favorites here.  Some (but not all) of the links on this page are affiliate links, which means that – at no additional cost to you – I earn a commission if you purchase a product based on my recommendation.  That said, please know that I recommend these products and services because I use them myself and have experienced their value firsthand.  But what works for me may not work for everyone… so do be sure you research any product well before you make a purchase to ensure it is the right fit for you. To your success!
