Welcome to this lesson of David Kummer’s writing course. That’s me, by the way. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, success stories, or just something fun to say, email me at davidkummer7@gmail.com. I’d love to talk about anything and everything, especially if that everything has to do with books, basketball, or Chinese food. I am a teenager, after all. So that’s that! Head on down and read what might be the best writing course of your life, but also might be the worst You won’t know until you try!

 

Here are the links that make up the additional resources. Hopefully, you find some helpful!

 

For each category, I will offer 1 book and 3 online resources (articles, websites, etc.) that you can use to improve in whatever area of the craft you’re looking for! If you are seeking help in a different area or just want to ask me some questions, email me at davidkummer7@gmail.com.

 

Every single one of these links is extremely helpful, just let me tell you. So give it a shot, and work your way through these as your daily reading list 🙂
