It’s Christmas Eve, and I wanted to take a moment to send you something special for your creative journey.
In my weekly newsletter, Letters From Libby James, I try to fill it with inspiration, tips, and resources to help you grow as a writer. Today, I’m sharing some of the best free tools out there, along with a few of my own, to support you in your writing goals.
🎁 Free Resources for You From Me:
- My MFA Alternative Guide
A step-by-step document to build your own writing education without the big price tag.
- Declutter Your Manuscript Guide
Tips and exercises to tighten your prose and make your story shine.
🎄 And These Amazing Free Resources:
- How to Write a Query Letter: Nonfiction and Memoir

- MSWL (Manuscript Wish List)
Discover what agents and publishers are looking for, directly from the source.
- Grammarly
Don’t just run your writing by the editor in Word. Double check it with the free Grammarly app. Polish that baby up as much as you can before you send it to agents!

Support your local library—because isn’t it a dream to one day see your own books on their shelves? By checking out books, attending events, or even just using their free Wi-Fi, you help ensure libraries thrive and stay stocked with amazing books (maybe even yours someday!). Librarians truly are the best.
- 44 Fellowships for Creative Writers in Any Career Stage
Opportunities to grow as an artist.

This season is about giving, and I hope these resources inspire and empower you as you work toward your creative dreams. If you haven’t had a chance to explore these yet, now’s the perfect time.
Wishing you all the best for the holidays,
