When I first began writing professionally in 2006, one of the
first things I did was pick through my copy of Writer’s
Market for every resource I could find. Writer’s
Market, published once a year, has a list of helpful websites
and other resources a writer might be interested in. I looked at many
of the websites listed there, hoping to find that magical website
that would make me a wealthy and creatively satisfied author. Almost
four years later, I still haven’t found the “magical” website.
I have, however, created this list of resources I regularly turn to
and have found helpful.

Who needs stupid books? They are for petty crooks..."
