43 Eclectic Resources on Writing/Publishing/Creativity

Yesterday I led “On the Road to Writing for Publication,” a virtual workshop for Executive Development Exchange Network/EDEN, a fantastic group that pre-pandemic met for many years in person in Washington, D.C., and is now virtual. I’ve regularly participated in the workshops since 2017, and led a 2018 workshop based on my second book, Create Your Future the Peter Drucker Way.

My slides for yesterday’s workshop included ten resources on writing/publishing/creativity. In this post, I’ve added 33 more: a combination of websites, books, blogs, and articles. I hope they will jump-start your creativity and be useful for you, wherever you are on the road to publication for books, articles, and more:
