Useful aids that help with writing – discussion of reference books, writing courses, ‘learning-to-write books’ – are they any good?
Writers associations (Romantic Novelists, Historical Novel Society, etc.), companies that will criticize your writing (such as Cornerstones), short story competitions, information about agents and publishers, inspiration and sources for what we write, websites and writing software, in fact anything that members have found useful – or not.
All members are welcome to bring along their experiences, good and bad, and should be prepared to participate.
