Freelancers Alert! Your Must-Have Resources

There are many writers who believe that everything they need is free online. They believe that there is no need for any kind of resource beyond Google. I hate to tell you this, but there are a few resources that will make you a better, more effective writer.

What I consider to be the most crucial resource is The Chicago Manual of Style. Any question about grammar, citations, editorial styles and more, this is the go-to resource for writers. I own a hardcopy, but you may subscribe to the website to access content. Go to the site  and give the free trial a try.

I also keep Grammar Girl’s Quick and Dirty Tips handy. This is a good reference for those moments when you just need to find a general rule or to figure out whether to use “between” or “among”, the book and website (and app) can all be very handy.

If you have any question, use a reference. Don’t guess. If you’re wrong and use the wrong “your”, you may lose a client and damage your reputation.

Keep on writing… and writing well.
