ResourcesApparently there is some unspoken mandate that writers must provide links to help all other writers who stop by their web site. This seems a bit silly as I think we are all drowning just a wee bit in information overload.
Alas, I'm not the rebellious trend-bucker I used to be, so here is my contribution. And, truth be told, I have found some amazing resources along the way. So...to prevent further submersion in the vast environs of links and lists and cross postings, I have kept this page mercifully short, listing only organizations/people I have worked with directly, plus a few other choice outfits and resources. Happy swimming. |
