Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home." John Campbell

As we all know, the Internet is a vast wonderland of information. Here's a list of some of my favorite places to go for advice, marketing tips and inspiration. If you reach a dead link, I'd appreciate you letting me know so I can remove it from the page. This is by no means a comprehensive list, there are entire sites devoted just to the constant gathering of resources for writers. This is more like a look at my personal bookmarks file, compulsive and obsessive as it might be.
