What are writers resources? That is our question of the day. But another question also pops up. Why should I use resources? So, you have a what and a why. Let me answer the why first.
Why Should I Use Writers Resources?
Our ancestors didn’t have much in the way of resources available to them. If they were Christians they had God, but the average Christian did not have the Word of God at hand. So, they didn’t really have readily available resources.
But times have changed! We now have at least one Bible in our possession. Likely, more than one. Plus, we have dictionaries, grammar books, and so much more.
With so much available why wouldn’t we make use of them?
But as Christians, we are expected to do our best at whatever we do.
What are these Resources?
Generally speaking, there are writing resources, publishing resources, and marketing resources. We are only looking at writing resources today.
Brief List of Writing Resources
- Books on writing
- Grammar books
- Dictionaries
- Maps
- History books
- Bible
- Bible commentaries
- How to books
- and more
You may have noticed Bible and Bible commentaries. These would be needed if you are writing Bible-based fiction and/or nonfiction.

Now back to the article.
Tip #1 – There is no excuse for not having information that you need. We live in the age of the internet. You can search for just about anything on it. But be careful. The internet is rife with false and misleading information. While it can be a rich source of material, you have to be careful.
I have found it helpful to stick with proven sources. Sometimes I venture out to new sources, but I also check their content against the proven sources and against my own knowledge.
Tip #2 – Bookmark your favorite resources. Chances are you will need them in the future. This is a small feature on the Internet, but bookmarks or favorites are extremely valuable for someone who does a lot of research, especially if on multiple subjects.
The resource list referred to earlier is just a brief list of basic resources. When you are writing you should have near you any resources that you may need. A lot depends on the genre you are working in, but having resources available is a good practice.
What Writers Resources do You Recommend?
You may not use these all the time, but I recommend having available a dictionary, a book on grammar, and perhaps a book on writing even our very own Guide to Writing which we periodically update and is available in our store.
