Useful Websites

I'm setting up a thread for people to post links to useful websites for writers. These can be sites that offer writing tips, publishing information, and other helpful links. Please do NOT use this to link to promotional sites (i.e. - "Buy My Book, Please!"). We want to create a library of writing tools for all to use. Please respect copyright by posting only the name of the site, link, and brief description.

Thanks!
Pat

Most computer spell checkers are limited to around 80,000 words. If my spell checker says it's wrong, I always check with additional resources before accepting its opinion. Here are links to both an online dictionary with hundreds of thousands of words and an online thesaurus, should you need them.

Agent query is the best (free) site I've seen for up to date info on which agents are interested in which genres, how to contact them, their websites and recent sales.

Hi. I've found a useful website bobbrooke@bobbrooke.com. He has had many books published on travel, antiques and other subjects. But he also teaches writing classes in my Philadelphia suburb. His website has many useful tips for writers in any genre. Check it out. Joy

This is such a great site for who want others to view their work and have others read and send you a crit. The offer excellent classes, contests and lots of suggestions on anything to do with writing or getting your work publishes. They have a free membership or several tiers that cost money. I purchased the basic package for $19.95 for a year and it was more than adequate. I think you will find this site to be absolutely amazing and exceedingly helpful.
