Resource Links

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but these are some resources that I’ve found. If you have a link that you think should be added, please drop me an email. Also please note that these are organized in no particular order.

 

Communities and Forums

Evolution
This is an online writing community I co-founded in 2003. We offer forums, chat, challenges and marathons, articles, and more. We’re not limited to one genre, but welcome writers of all sorts.

Romance Divas
RD is a community geared towards romance writers of all subgenres. They have forums, a chatroom, articles, book reviews, Q&As with industry professionals, workshops by published authors … and most of all, they’re a very open-minded, supportive community.

The Rumor Mill
This is a web forum hosted by Speculations, a SFF writer’s magazine. They’re not very community-focused, but they’re a great resource for information pertinent to the speculative fiction genre — such as market updates, etc.

Hobgoblin
They’re a very small writing community, but they’re a cool group of people and well worth stopping by.
