When I first started to study professional writing, I found myself on many forums, online conferences, blogs, groups etc. It didn't take long for me to realize the value of the things I was being exposed to, but I just wasn't ready to use most of it yet. So created a file on my desktop and every time someone recommended a site or article about something in the field which I would need eventually, I cut and pasted it into this file. 

Eventually, I divided the file into three lists and dropped links under headings to easily locate subjects. Hence, this list has been collecting links since 2006, I think. Every year I try to go through and clear out dead sites and such, but I'm sure I've missed a few.

Know that the outline itself is a valuable tool because it lists most everything an author will eventually learn about during the course of their studies. It only seem right that I share what so many others have shared with me over the years.

                                                                                                                                                I hope it helps.-- sincerely, Mary Andrews 

Currently there are three major writing lists    LEARNING THE CRAFT,  GETTING PUBLISHED,    and SELF PROMOTION
