July 29th, 2010 by me

I’ve been updating the WRITERS PAGE on my website, and came across a few new links I think would be particularly helpful to anyone submitting novels or short stories, or for that matter pretty much anything. I published quite a few short stories and other short pieces on my way to getting my first novel published, and I highly recommend it as a way to hone your craft and to get some positive energy to keep you writing!

There’s a more exhaustive list on the site, but these are some new ones I’ve come across:

QueryTracker, an online agent database I offer with the caveat that I don’t actually know how accurate it is, but I’ve heard from others that it’s great

Good luck with your writing! – Meg
