Where Do I Start?
This page is a work in progress. I plan to share as many links/resources for writers as I can. I'm not endorsing any particular group or business, but rather including ones I've found helpful or friends have found helpful in the journey to publication. If you have any great suggestions, please send them my way via the SUGGESTIONS button at the bottom of the page. Thank you and happy writing!
