5 YouTube Channels All Writers Should Subscribe To

As writers, we can never have enough resources to help inform and guide our writing. Here are 5 YouTube writing channels that have helped me on my writing journey. I hope that you'll be able to find some useful information from them, too.

Writing With Jenna Moreci

Jenna Moreci is a published author of fantasy and science fiction novels who posts weekly videos with writing advice. Her videos cover writing advice as well as tropes from different genres, as well as practical tutorials for writers - like budget and marketing tips, tradition versus self publishing, and how to write when struggling with a mental illness.

Terrible Writing Advice

This one is definitely one of my favorite ones on this list. The channel is run by -- and author who creates "terrible advice" videos for writers, each video centered on a different trope or genre. By doing this, the videos are humorous as they describe what the writer "should" do as the worst, most overplayed versions of the trope and genre, and what a writer "shouldn't" do as a more authentic, fresher way to write the trope or genre.

Overly Sarcastic Productions

This channel i run by two people- whose online personas are named "Blue" and "Red", and their videos focus on summarizing literature, mythology, and history, which serves as great inspiration, especially for writers of speculative fiction. They also do trope videos, discussing different examples of the tropes in literature and movies- they

Just Write

This channel features video essays about movies, TV, and literature - analyzing stories and discussing what writers can learn from them

Hello Future Me

Like some of the other channels on this list, this channel helps writers with different aspects of their writing- like world building and character development- by analyzing stories that may be familiar to the reader. Tim Hickson, the owner of the channel is also a published author.

As a writer, there are so many resources available to you- YouTube is only one of many. Hopefully, these channels will provide

some useful information that will help you to improve your stories.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
