Are you guilty of rhyme crimes like me when I first started rhyming!? Or maybe you don’t even know the rules for rhyming. Don’t feel bad! Just check out these free resources that I have compiled to set you straight on your rhyming journey.
Renee LaTulippe’s Self-Study Rhyme and Meter Course
Renee’s Self Study Rhyme and Meter Course is a MUST for any novice rhymer. Here you will learn all you need to get started rhyming correctly. Renee breaks down poetry rhyme and structure into simple, easy lessons with a Facebook support group where you can get feedback on your very small poetry assignments. Very affordable at $139 and very much worth it! Renee has other options for classes if you need a more hands on learning experience, but the self study course was just perfect for me.
If finances are an issue, Renee also has made many of her lessons/teachings available on YouTube!

Lori Degman is an amazing rhymer and hilarious story teller. As her former mentee, I can attest to her knowledge and experience and commitment to providing excellent feedback to help whip your manuscript into shape.
Rhyme Doctors is a group of talented rhymers who can help you with your rhyming manuscript.
