Writing Resources Revised for 2025

One year ago, I posted a hefty resource list with 300+ links for writers. In July 2025, I’ve added 75+ more links—and cleaned up any that lapsed in the last 12 months—to offer even more information and inspiration. The updated “To Create and Connect III: Links for Writers” with 375+ links is available here now.

Just a few of the fresh links added since II:

* Substacks by Imani Perry, Laura van den Berg, Maurice Carlos Ruffin

* Writing/craft books by Elizabeth McCracken, Khadijah Queen, Suleika Jaouad

* Podcasts from Catherine LaSota, Deesha Philyaw + Kiese Laymon, Mattea Roach

* Classes + community from Chelsea Hodson, Tracy K. Smith, Two Sylvias

Hope you’ll dive right in and share the list with your writing communities!
