Free (& Low Cost) Resources for Writers: Writing Style

Published on 19 February 2026 at 14:30

Being an author is a lot of work, especially when you don't have the backing of a "big five" publisher. This series of resources is meant to support indie, self-published, and up-and-coming authors, writers, and poets. Today's article includes resources designed to address writing style.

 

It's hard to make money in the writing industry, so I try my best to find resources that are suitable for people working on a budget. If you know of a resource that might belong on this list, please share it with me at contact.undergroundbookshelf@gmail.com so that I can take a look.
