WRITING COMMUNITY ALERT...and other informational links

NEW WRITING COMMUNITY ALERT: The Inkwell is a great new writer’s community! If you haven’t joined, now is the time… Read Buffy’s review on Literary Rambles, check out the site, join, participate, increase your knowledge, get a manuscript critique and get another step closer to publication.

From The Inkwell“All new writers and artists (including illustrators, web comic creators and graphic artists) have to start somewhere, and we hope you'll begin your journey here. We want to give you the resources and support you need to be successful. This is also a community for established writers and artists, a place for them to promote their work and help others. We hope that they, too, will continue to learn and grow their skills.

Inkwell belongs to you and every other member. Its success depends on each of us participating, spreading the word and growing the site through engaging groups and interactive features. We hope that you find not only the resources you need but a caring community of writers and artists who are dedicated and passionate about their craft.”

AGENT INFORMATION: If you noticed my sidebar has grown. I spent some time looking for agent blogs for you (and me). Chuck Sambuchino’s blog is loaded with agent and publishing information. You can get his blog posts via email. Do you follow links from other people’s sidebars?

EXPERT ADVICE: What are you supposed to do after you send out your queries? "Live your life as though it were normal," says The Authoress. Check out her great post on how to handle the stress of waiting.

So, go forth, increase your knowledge, and be stress free...

  1. You are awesome Sharon. Thanks so very much for the plug. And I hope to see you active on the site. BTW, someone posted in the Celebrate group on the site that they just sold an historical MG. I thought of you immediately. I hope your writing is coming along. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. And congrats on getting more than 100 followers. That's super.
