Poets & Writers
Online
The ultimate site for writers, this
site won "Best of the Web!" CNET 6/97 and rightfully so. The
hub for all things literary so immense and thorough it's redundant to
spin tales about this mega-site. They offer contests, conferences and
much more. Don't be shy with the links, they get you places.

programs, were on a mission to represent the presence of writers in
colleges and universities. Find job services, creative writing programs,
conferences, resources and more ... so get serious.

Eclectic Writer
This site is very instructional and how-to driven. Learn how to write
queries, a synopsis, self editing techniques and plenty of other helpful
tools. Links to other literary sites are also in abundance. It never
hurts to learn another technique. One caveat: the
page uses Java and load times can frustrate.
The Slot, A Spot

and a copy chief at The Washington Post, gives writers a wry and witty
ride through the minutiae of his noble profession. An excellent resource
to help us all become aware of the effect our style and choices have
on the landscape of the printed word.

with one of the better compilations of quotes from famous writers and
personalities to make you think, smile, laugh and wonder.
