Resources for Writers
I've curated these links as a source of information and inspiration for writers. Here, you'll find editor databases, writing and citation resources, and one of my all time favorite sites: TabletopAudio. Use their selection of scene-setting tracks to set the tone for your space odyssey, your dungeon fight, your Christmas market, or your 1940's reporters' room. They have hundreds of tracks to choose from.
