Where Research Will Take Ya Sometimes
Posted on November 17th, 2007 by Carlos
Writing, For Writers // Have your say »So today, as I was diligently at work on a new short story, I suddenly discovered I needed to know some small details about how taxidermy works. Off to the Interwebs I went! And, as usual, I found not only what I was looking for, but way more coolness and sadness than I bargained for.
Coolness […]
Strange Horizons: The Best Online Sci-Fi Magazine?
Posted on July 15th, 2007 by Carlos
For Writers // Have your say »I haven’t checked every online sci-fi mag in existence, so I suppose I can’t answer this question with absolute scientific certainty. But I am guessing yes. Strange Horizons is an Internet success story: the work they publish gets nominated for the biggest awards in speculative fiction (Hugo, Nebula, etc.); they have built a lively […]

Posted on July 15th, 2007 by Carlos
For Writers // Have your say »Hey gang, updating with two good (and very different) places on the web to help you find markets for your writing.

Almost to a one, publishing houses of any size and stature require you to have an agent before they will look at (and most likely reject) your manuscript. But getting an […]
Ralan–one of the best writer sites out there.
Posted on June 21st, 2007 by Carlos
For Writers // Have your say »Really, you can just stop reading here and head over to Ralan.com. Just go and start reading. Really.
If you’re still here, you need more convincing. Fine. Ralan.com is, to my mind, the single best site for anyone interested in publishing science fiction, fantasy, horror, romance, erotica, and/or humor, and if you’re interested in other genres, […]
Resources for Writers
Posted on June 21st, 2007 by Carlos
For Writers // Have your say »So one of the reasons I want to keep a blog is purely selfish: I just want a quick place to gather all the Internet tools and resources I regularly use — all those sites and links and whatnot. And hey, if it turns out to be a public service to other writers, so be […]
