While there are a lot of free or affordable courses online for writing (and perhaps also in person in your local area), these tend to focus on the basics. The art of writing takes a whole life time to master. It’s an ongoing process of experimentation, discovery, and fine-tuning. One way to help your growth as a writer is to listen to other writers. So, I’ve compiled this writing course of free resources for myself – feel free to take from it what works for you.
