Top three youtube channels for aspiring authors

Recommended Posts

(If I can figure out how to put the videos strait in I will probably edit my comment to do that. Help plz)

I compiled a short list of channels on youtube that are really good for learning about writing. Anyone is welcome to add their own suggestions as well. At very least it will give some new stuff to procrastinate writing while you "research"

All of the youtubers here have more than just the one video I'm linking so if you enjoy any of it you should see thier other stuff

---#1

Jenna Moreci: video-how to write romantic chemistry

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3Drw7nQWgPkAs&ved=0ahUKEwjPutiP1JbTAhVO0GMKHdt6A7kQwqsBCB8wAA&usg=AFQjCNEBlwOAsP-PNffrEKLkmy4cIdB-ZA&sig2=Bfugx6pcGLtT4ylSNMBw7w

I particularly like her advice on writing various types of relation in a way that will engage readers

JP Beaubien: video- DYSTOPIAS

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=%23&ved=0ahUKEwiP3Kni3JbTAhUBUWMKHdSnA2MQxa8BCCgwBw&usg=AFQjCNF1sHlk2z9QIx28jtvfnGP_UlkifA&sig2=mB9PR8JgRNU5yuQsdWY-Mg

His videos tend to focus on a topic or genre were he hand out equal parts awful writing advice and humor. Two more of his video that I really like are magical school, environmentilism and fantasy races

Tsuko G: video- Why "Name of the winds" tone matters

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DwMyqQWcAuKM&ved=0ahUKEwjulvOI5pbTAhVG9GMKHY3sB4EQwqsBCBwwAA&usg=AFQjCNGcAatycUh9wJBcAiFV4etHzDSutg&sig2=TNaOMC3w1dyHgVzub9fvAg

Though tsuko g is not a writer but rather what I will call a professional reader. He knows what he is talking about and it is always interisting to see what he has to say.

So yeah, does anyone have any other writing advice givers they want to share?

I'll definitely check out these links. This seems an appropriate place to put this, so I'll just drop this off here:

I love his lectures--I've watched them more than once, and will continue to watch them when I need to call upon his holy guidance and wisdom. Lol (still my author crush)

I thought about posting a link to brandons vids but figured someone else would anyway☺. Also how did you get the vid to show up in the comments instead of a hyperlink?

Did something go wrong here? I'm a softcore fan of Tsuko G, his music is cool, but I don't think he has any videos on writing...

Anyway, I like this video series of Dan Wells on the 7-point story structure. It is interesting...

I heard about it on Writing Excuses.  

PS: For those not in the know, Writing Excuses is a wicked cool writing advice podcast hosted by Brandon Sanderson and a bunch of other writers (including Dan Wells).

Here at the Shard if you copy a youtube link in your post, the video is automatically embedded. You have the option to revert it to link-form while writing your post.
