Author Resources
Plenty of authors can keep track of all the moving parts of their story in a single journal notebook, Scrivener or Word file, or even in Excel or Google Sheets. These free resources are geared toward those who may need to separate specific revision changes before they can combine everything.
Here, you’ll find simple worksheets to help with that very concept. This list is ever-growing, so more resources will be added as time passes.
I send out free tips through The Editor–Author Perspective newsletter the first Tuesday of every month. Join the list here.

Quickly locate the major beats and foundational holes in your draft and see whether they’re doing enough work. A firm story structure makes drafting and revising a lot easier and faster in the long run. If you start nowhere else in the available resources, start here.
Characters make the story, not the other way around. When you understand who your characters are—from the inside out, before and after they appear on the page—you ensure your readers will at least be curious enough to start your story, and learn how to get them hooked enough to finish.
