Resources
A list of websites, podcasts, and more that I recommend for other writers!
Shine Like Lights
Glorifying God through writing, literature, and life.
‘In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.’ Matthew 5:16
Fight Write
A writers ultimate resource on how to write fight scenes, action and violence.
Whether a side-street skirmish or an all-out war, fight scenes bring action to the pages of every kind of fiction. But a poorly done or unbelievable fight scene can ruin a great book in an instant.

Writing, Life, Faith
Jesus > Anything
Because He is the only one worth everything
"This site will focus on writing, life, faith, and other subjects I hope you’ll find interesting. My biggest prayer though is that my posts will strengthen (or kindle) your faith in Jesus, and help you as you go through the complicated labyrinth that is life."
- Samuel James
Equine on the Mind
"You’re never too old for horses.”
You’ve heard that adage, haven’t you? From the famous barrel racers, elite equestrians, and equine industry professionals featured in the horse books, magazines, and other equine media you’ve consumed since the day you became horse crazy. Maybe you’ve even heard it from horse owners.
Sure, it’s easy to believe that you’re never too old for horses when you own a horse and get to ride every day. It’s even easy to believe when you take riding lessons.
But you’re not a little kid anymore. Your childhood passion of collecting horse models and reading horse books and drawing thousands upon thousands of horse pictures to perfect your style is clashing with the older, more “mature” hobbies your friends are taking part in. You know of adults who bought a horse even when they didn’t ride as kids, but you’re in the in-between– you’re not a child, but you’re not an adult.
Horse crazy, you’re not alone.

Dear Young Writer,
You Have Permission to Dream Again
We help young writers change the world with their words. Join our community to find the support you need to pursue writing as a career.
Most young writers have a dream… but they don’t know how to achieve it.
If you’ve ever been stuck staring at a blank page, found yourself scrounging Google to piece together writing tips and tricks, or had doubts that you’re not good enough, we hear you.
If you’ve ever wanted to pursue your love of writing as a career, but been told you should focus on a more ‘sensible’ path… you’re not alone.
At The Young Writer, we believe that in order to succeed, you need to Start Young And Stick With It. It’s not about luck. It’s about working hard and smart with a tried & tested strategy.
Story Embers
Don’t Settle for Second-Rate Storytelling
We’re not here to tell you that great storytelling is effortless or that one weird trick will solve all your problems (it won’t).
Instead, we’re here to equip you with training and support so you can write stories that make a difference.
Are you ready to take the first step?
Podcasts
Helping Writers Become Authors
"Hi and welcome! I’m K.M. Weiland (but you can call me Katie), and I love that you’re here because it means you take stories and the craft of writing just as passionately as I do.
I believe that story is the most powerful force in the world. My goal in running Helping Writers Become Authors and the incredible community of Wordplayers that has grown up around it is to show you how to write your best story—change your life—and astound the world.
Sound good?"
