Links of Interest for Writers

[Leaflady]

I have looked at dozens of sites. This is the best, hands down:

These are two sites I've found helpful. They can sort of give you a way to step outside your own head and read your work with a different eye.

1. http://www.margotfinke.com/
Scroll down until you see "Self Editing Tip Sheet" and click on that.
N.B. this is a children's writers' site, but the editing tips, while apparently simple, are good.

2. http://www.carolynjewel.com/forwriters.shtml
This is a romance writers' site, but the information can apply to all fiction writing. It is very well done, amounting to a workshop on in-depth editing.

Should i go to the other site and get the other links posted? If someone else wants to OK by me...

This is the web space to visit if you've always thought you should write a book but have always postponed. (You have time to prepare of course, it only starts in November... )

Thanks Corvin and the woman in Exile and the Duellist for their posts from a year or two ago.

My question is this: Can we get a table going for the professional writers/authors. In this case, for anyone who actually has made money writing and perhaps we could also include those who really intend to go pro even if they haven't been paid yet.

I write professionally but hope to advance to the next level - where i really earn a whole middle class living from writing and where I get a byline. I have seen at least two other books here recently, including one on ogham and one by a woman - I'm a little confused about where I found her on the forum but I did - I think her's is a druidic fiction novel...So, I know its not just me.

Even so: if all the pros would come out of the woodwork and convene here it might be helpful.

Thanks everyone who says yes sooner or later, or who maybe already did.
