Links to WoJ Sources

This is the collection of links to Word of Jim content.

The below collection is as is as exhaustive I’ve been able to make it over the years.  If you come across a WoJ source that isn’t below, please let me know either in a comment to one of the blog update posts, or on reddit, where I also have the user name “serack”

Placeholder for the link to where ever the archive of the old official forum posts for Jim lands.

Major WoJ sources:
The Butcher Block
Jim’s Livejournal (great source of advice for budding writers)
WoJ’s from the old email list before there was a forum
Archive of all Jim Butcher Amazon Posts (At least the ones I could find a few years ago when I was bored waiting for Ghost Story)
Archive of Jim’s Twitter posts relevant to his writing (also subject to update lapses)
Karen Woodward’s blog post indexing Jim’s articles on writing

Page quoting a bunch of Posts Jim made on the Laura K. Hamilton email list around 2000

Archive of long form WoJ’s from outside sources

 

Pages containing Transcripts of Audio/Video interviews and such (generated on the old Jim Butcher Forums)

 

There is a lot of fan overlap between the Dresden Files and James Marsters (Spike from Buffy) because he does the readings for the audio books (with the exception of Ghost Story).  This Page contains most of the things that James has said about his work on the Dresden Files, gleaned from a website that serves a similar purpose to this “Archive”
