Resources for Writers

I'm not an expert on publishing--I'm learning, too! But I am a professional editor, and I know a lot about editing. (I also know a lot about Microsoft Word.) Although I don't really edit my blog anymore, there are still a lot of posts about what I read, researched, and reviewed on it. You can read everything at Fairies, Zombies, and Agent Queries.

Here are some of my favorite:
