The Next Big Writer.com: The Next Big Writer is a great community of welcoming folks, mostly writers themselves. The members are very good about commenting on posted writing and willing to give you honest impressions, with positive advice. We spend some time on the site everyday helping writers hone their craft and looking for the next big writer.
Authonomy: Authonomy was created by HarperCollins as a place for writers to post and receive comments. It is an excellent place to better your craft and to read some great literature before it is snatched up by a publisher. Authonomy is based in the UK, but that doesn’t stop us from visiting looking for a new project to get behind.
The Writer’s Market: The Writer’s Market is the holy grail for writer’s looking for a publisher. It lists publishers, what genre of submissions they accept, what form they accept them in, and whether they accept unsolicited manuscripts, query letters, or only agent represented material. Of course, we would hope you query Jonquil or Iconic first, but if it isn’t one of our genres, The Writer’s Market is the next best step.
