Twitterific links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming)
which has over 23,000 free articles on writing related topics. It's the search
engine for writers.
Check out the new
resource for writers. It’s Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Insecure
Writer’s Support Group website. There you’ll find pages of links to
resources—writing tips, publishers, agents, queries, self-publishing,
marketing, contests, and publications for writers.
Friend and fellow
mystery writer Margot
Kinberg has put together a crime fiction anthology: In
a Word--Murder. The ebook retails
for $2.99 and proceeds from its sales benefit Princess
Alice Hospice, in memory of Maxine Clarke, a supporter of and good friend
to the crime writing community. One of
my stories is in the collection, too...my first attempt at short fiction.
:)
Have a great week!
