Every once in a while I locate new resources that might or might not assist you in your quest for success as a writer or author. And I like to occasionally share them with my loyal blog-followers. These are not necessarily recommendations. While some of them are quite valid, important sites with beneficial information, this might not be true of them all. It is up to you to scrutinize the offerings and determine whether you can benefit by pursuing them.<\/p>\n
I attempt to provide mostly sites that offer material and information for free. However, some of them do charge for services. It is your job to decide where to spend your money.<\/p>\n
For example, you know that I produce and sell books for authors and I\u2019ve developed online courses for authors and writers. You are aware that I charge for my services as an editor and publishing consultant. If you\u2019ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you also know something about me, my level of knowledge and integrity. If you are interested in the offerings of a random Internet site, make sure you know who you\u2019re dealing with and exactly what they have to offer before getting involved. <\/p>\n
