When I give a talk, I usually share a handout with lots of content strategy resources—articles I’ve found helpful, people to follow on Twitter, books I recommend. I wanted to share my favorite resources with you here, as well—because I know I won’t get to meet most of you reading this website in person.
I’ll update this list from time to time when I find a new favorite resource. Did I miss your favorite content strategy resource? Let me know so I can add it!
