Writing Advice Online

There are so many websites offering writing advice nowadays, that sorting out the good from the bad - never mind reading them all - leaves one hardly any time for actual writing! I have thus assembled my shortlist of recommendations, to save you time.

General Articles

• Vision magazine
• Uncle Orson's Writing Class - essays by Orson Scott Card

Blogs

Blogs by industry insiders (often anonymous) are an incredibly valuable resource that simply didn't exist a few years ago - make the most of them!

• Miss Snark, Literary Agent - often funny, and full of useful hints for the clueless
• Evil Editor - regular holds interactive sessions such as query letter critiques, to help you hone your prose
• Crapometer a non-publishing-professional (AFAIK) blog, but a good place to have your query letters, opening pages, etc publicly critiqued - if you dare!
