Resources for Authors
Questions at 2 a.m.? Same. Here are the links I use, so you don’t have to dig through seventeen tabs and a mild identity crisis.
If at any time you need help with any of these please reach out and we can do a live or one on one time to help you through it.
I am just starting this page to make a simplified place to find helpful links.
StoryOrigins
This is the tool I use the most. It hosts my Beta and ARC's. It creates UBL's (universal book links) for me and a landing page with those UBL's. There is a free version as well as paid. I do use the paid version to be able to participate in the newsletter and promo swaps.
Cost Free to $10 a month or $100 a year. Great customer service!
Dabble
My second most-used tool—it wrangles my chaos into stories. I can drop in scenes, images, characters, and notes in any order, then organize later. No AI involved.
Plans range $9–$29/month, or $699 lifetime. I use the middle tier, and it keeps pace with every wild idea I throw at it.
LibreOffice
LibreOffice is a private, free and open source office suite – the successor project to OpenOffice.
It's compatible with Microsoft Office/365 files (.doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx)
yWriter
yWriter is a word processor which breaks your novel into chapters and scenes, helping you keep track of your work while leaving your mind free to create. It will not write your novel for you, suggest plot ideas or perform creative tasks of any kind. yWriter was designed by an author, not a salesman!

A companion writing app for people who need extra stimulation.
