Here are my favorite links for science fiction writers:
- Broad Universe – an international organization all about science fiction, fantasy, and horror written by women
- SFWA’s Writer Beware and Writer Beware Blogs! – info about scams that target writers, including fraudulent literary agencies and publishers
- Preditors and Editors – more scam info, including a directory of both known scammers and real professionals
- Locus – the trade magazine for the industry
- OWW: Online Writing Workshop for Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror – does what is says on the tine
- SFF.net – online services, resources and connections throughout the SF community
Here are blogs of authors, literary agents, editors, and others in the publishing business that have a lot of interesting stuff to say:
- Whatever – John Scalzi, who always has a lot to say about writing, publishing, and SF media
- Miss Snark – sadly, she’s no longer with us (in the Internet way), but the archives are still insanely useful. Read them.
- Evil Editor – for blow-by-blow breakdowns of where other writers are going wrong in their queries, etc.
- Arcaedia – Jennifer Jackson of the Donald Maass Literary Agency
