Stop Paying for Writing Advice: 3 no-cost options you ignore

Too many people hide valuable writing help behind a paywall — not on my watch. I’m R.A. Gasparac (human/Hyrax hybrid, dark empress of delayed reactions), and after 20+ years of writing I’m unpacking three totally FREE resources every writer needs — including the one everyone overlooks.

In this video: – Why subscription culture is choking free writing resources – Free site deep dives: Jamigold & AdvancedFictionWriting – The most underrated resource of all:

YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY — research help, writing groups, author events, grant support, indie author programs, and more –

Real-life tip: how I wrote Bloody Flesh and Deadly Shadows at the library (and why you should get a library card today)

Free resources mentioned – Jamigold — worksheets, beat sheets, scene & revision checklists, planning tools, guest-author posts (https://www.jamigold.com) –

AdvancedFictionWriting (Randy Ingermanson) — Snowflake Method, scene tips, publishing & marketing advice (https://www.advancedfictionwriting.com) –

Your local library — get a card, use databases, join writing groups, learn about the Indie Author Project (find your library via your city/county website or https://www.worldcat.org/libraries)
