Resource Section
As I am a newbie to the world of writing, editing and publishing, I have been doing a great deal of research and have found some GREAT sites. There are a ton of resources for writers, these are simply the ones that I have found to be the best! I have probably forgotten some but I am sure I will be adding alot more along the way.

I Should Be Writing The podcast for wanna-be fiction writers, by a wanna-be fiction writer who?s still learning. Writer Mur Lafferty discusses rejection, cover letters and getting the oomph to keep going. Mer has her first novel in print, Playing For Keeps which is also available in audio form.
Adventures in ScFi Publishing Shaunstarted AISFP because he loves science fiction and fantasy and he wanted to talk about it with others. Also, what a better way to learn about publishing than to do a podcast about it?

Brave Men Run also now available in print! ?Brave Men Run? is the story of Nate Charters. Born different, unsure of his origins, he?s an outcast at Abbeque Valley High School, a self-proclaimed ?boy freak? with few friends and low self-esteem. When the Sovereign Era dramatically dawns, Nate finds himself in a quest to discover the truth: is he more than he seems, a misfit in a miraculous and powerful new minority? or something else entirely?
Workshops
I just joined CRITTERS WORKSHOP, an online writing workshop and I think that it's a great resource for writers.
