Writing-Resource

Writing-Resource was born when a group of family and friends got together and decided we would like to share our writing skills online.

We come from a variety of Freelance Writing backgrounds and felt we could bring something a little different to the internet. We envisaged a writing community, with a forum, a blog with our thoughts and details about updates, a group of freelance writers website and blog owners could call on to produce good, unique content on a wide variety of topics, and a course of private ‘Writing Skills’ tutorials.

The latter suggestion was made by a talented writer and qualified literature and English grammar teacher who also came up with the original idea of Writing-Resource in the first place.

However, owing to circumstances completely beyond her control, this member of the group is, at present, unable to take part in Writing-Resource. Although a couple of us are also qualified teachers, literature and grammar are not among our main teaching areas. We write, often very well, but we are not qualified to teach writing skills.

Some business owners would decide that this does not matter and carry on with the private tutorials plan anyway, but we are not like that. We want to provide real value, not rip off our clients.

Therefore we have decided to change the focus of Writing-Resource, until such time as our tutorial teacher can return. From this point on and until further notice, all tutorials found at Writing-Resource will be free for personal use. They will be copyright and we do not want them used, without our express permission, anywhere else, but they will be free for you to read or copy for your own personal use and to gain important writing skills.

Within the next few days, we will be posting all the present writing skills tutorials in pages here at Writing-Resource.

Writing-Resource will still be offering unique content for those who wish to purchase this. You may be interested to know that we offer content on a variety of subjects most others do not (including engineering, electronics and adult) as well as written content suitable for many different niches.

The address to contact us initially about your Written Content Requirements is posted on our Contact Page.

We will also continue to run our sister website Tell Your Story, where anyone is welcome to contribute a story (fact or fiction), an opinion, or anything else you would like to see online but are wondering where to post it. We do of course vet all written content before it is posted to Tell Your Story. We welcome a variety of writing, including tech and adult, but we will refuse any written content that is in any way against the law, so please be sensible when you email your stories to us. The email address is on our Contact Page.

All posts at Tell Your Story are copyright the original authors. You are very welcome to post your stories anywhere you choose as well as posting them there. They are your property and you are entirely responsible for them.

Writing-Resource also envisages setting up a Writers Forum in the near future (once we have sorted this site out). The forum will be open to all (as long as you register), and we will hope that this provides a place to share writing and publishing tips and lively debate of many different types.

However, most of all, we want to get the Writing-Resource Blog up and running, with regular updates, not only of new features at Writing-Resource, but also to post our opinions on a number of issues and to provide more help on how best to write and earn a living from Freelance Writing online. So that is our first priority at this time.

That’s it in a (rather large) nutshell. Over the next few days, Writing-Resource will be undergoing quite a few changes (maybe even a change of look). We will be very busy sorting out all the material we have ready to post, but making sure that it is easily accessible for everyone to find will take time and organisation.

So, if anyone popped in here a few weeks ago and is now wondering what happened to Writing-Resource, I hope this goes some way to explaining the lack of posting and new content over this time.

But please bear with us as we make all these important changes to Writing-Resource, because we think the wait will be well worth your while. We intend Writing-Resource to be a unique and valuable part of the Freelance Writing world.

This has been a busy few days for the team at Writing-Resource. We are busy looking at and testing software appropriate for our forum. We have also all been extremely busy providing written content for publishers.

Nevertheless, work still continues here and we are on schedule. I have just finished writing out our TOS (Terms of Service), which was a mammoth task in itself.

After a short break to recoup some energy, I will continue with the tutorials for our writing skills membership site.

It’s a hectic life providing good written content and writing skills tutorials, but the team here at Writing-Resource know we have excellent skills and experience to share and that makes it all worthwhile.
