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.

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.
