When I first started writing about a year ago I found some channels on YouTube that really helped me improve as a writer. While I have improved a lot since then, I still watch those videos because they are still very useful, even though I'm not a beginner anymore. I decided to share the three channels that have helped me a lot on my writing journey, in the hopes that they might be useful to some beginning/intermediate writers.
The first is Jenna Moreci. She's a writer that published her first book some time ago and is working on her second book at the moment. Her videos are mostly aimed at writers writing a book for publication, but most of the tips easily apply to writing for a site like Literotica as well (just ignore the publishing videos and advice). But if you're wondering about how to publish your work she does have some very useful videos about that process. I really like her humor, but she does curse a lot. If you don't like F-bombs then you might want to avoid her videos since she uses them quite a lot.
The second writer is Kim Chance. She's a friend of Jenna Moreci and has just finished writing her first book. She's an English teacher, so she does have some more grammatically focused videos too. She's really enthusiastic and great at motivating you to write. Again, she also has some videos about publishing, but most of her content is just about writing in general.
Lastly there is Ellen Brock. She's a freelance editor and has a lot of videos about the more technical aspects of writing. She explains things like Show VS Tell, how to write dialogue and descriptions, as well as some more general writing tips and answering the questions of the viewers.
I hope these links are of some use to at lest some of the writers on here. If you got other writing channels that you watch, feel free to share them below. I know there are a lot of writers on YouTube, these are just the three that I have found and that I find helpful.
