RESOURCE HUB
Welcome to the LUREVS resource hub. This is where I, Luke, provide links to a variety of blogs, books, and information that will be useful on your editing journey. Sometimes, I may refer you to one of these resources before taking on your order. On other occasions, such as when we are fully booked and unable to accept new clients, it is my hope that these resources will allow LUREVS to still contribute to your writing journey by giving you a little nudge in the right direction.
Note: All the resources linked below have been collected purely from my own experience. We receive no financial reward when you click any of the links we provide.
