Welcome to the Fandom Writer’s Workshop

Do you write about the movies, TV series, comics, books, games, or fandoms you love?

You’re not alone! Most of the writing done about books, movies, TV, comics, and games is done by people just like you; smart, passionate people who love writing about the things they enjoy. Unfortunately, most of the writing advice available online is written for businesses, brands, professional journalists, or students. There’s a lot of helpful stuff out there, but there aren’t many resources or websites devoted specifically to fandom writing.

That changes today.

The Fandom Writer’s Workshop is a collection of writing advice, templates, worksheets, & resources, created just for fandom writers, reviewers, & critics. You don’t have to be a professional journalist to write great reviews and fandom articles. You just need to know what works and what doesn’t.

You need to know:

  • What people expect to get out of book, game, or movie reviews
  • How to deal with or avoid spoilers
  • How detailed your scene or event descriptions should be
  • What words and phrases readers hate hearing in reviews
  • How to include images without copyright infringement
  • How to encourage people to comment and share your posts
  • How to get your reviews and articles posted on popular fandom websites
  • How to use social media as a fandom writer
  • Where to find the best free software, apps, and online tools
  • What free resources are available to fandom writers & how to use them
  • Why article templates are so helpful and how to use them to write completely unique articles
  • Who is doing fandom writing exactly right and what you can learn from them

These things are the heart of the Fandom Writer’s Workshop.

The Fandom Writer’s Workshop is just getting started. Luckily, I’ve got over a year of notes, guide chapters, templates, and worksheet drafts to add. Most of it needs at least a little editing before I can post it, but I’ll work as quickly as I can to make these resources available to you.

What would you most like to see?

  • Templates?
  • Q&A’s?
  • Worksheets?
  • Writing Guides?
  • Or maybe you have a specific question about fandom writing. If you do, please ask it here and I’ll see what I can do. 

Thanks,

Brinna
