Friday’s Fun Find: Writer’s Grab Bag

by

Okay, here’s the deal.

I’m getting ready to get me and my manuscript(s) up to New Jersey for the One-on-One Plus Conference at Rutgers. But I couldn’t leave without sharing author Ellen Jackson’s extremely helpful Editors’ pages. While doing my Rutgers research on editors, Ellen’s very helpful site came up again and again and really saved me quite a bit of time. It’s not often you can submit directly to editors, but if you’re thinking along those lines, check here first.

Plus, there’s Vonna Carter’s extremely helpful pages on agents. Her website also came up time and time again, so I think you’ll find it worth a look for when you’re…well, looking.

And er, yes. This is not exactly the same post you read early Friday. But this is late Saturday and I thought a little mojo turning around was called for before I head to that conference. Not because I’m superstitious, but because…okay, okay. Fine. I’m a little superstitious.

But come on. I’m going all the way to New Jersey. I need all the luck I can get.

 

 

Tuesday’s Tip: Top 50 Blogs for Writers

by

Isn’t that a swell-looking award? All bright and shiny and award-y? Isn’t it swell to get awards?

Okay, technically, I didn’t get the award. The Muffin, WOW’s super blog, won that award. A whole handful of wonderful women writers contribute posts to that blog to make it, according to Tribal Messenger Daily, one of the Top 50 Blogs for Writers.

I know a great many of my regular readers also read (and have contributed excellent posts!) to The Muffin, so I’m sure you’re not surprised to find WOW’s blog on the list. But you may find a few surprises on TMD’s list. And maybe you’ll find a blog gem that you’ve missed. There are blogs for freelancers, fiction writers, non-fiction writers…well, there are 50 blogs, so there’s bound to be a blog to have the writing info just right for you.

Meanwhile, I’m moving closer and closer to the Top 5,000 Blogs for Writers as compiled by someone named Ricky who lives in his mom’s basement. Yay, me!
