Just quickie – I’ve started getting seriously serious about my studies, given that exams are just a month away! That being said, while randomly surfing during one of my, er “breaks”, I came across FirstWriter.com.
The layout looks fairly plain, but it seems there are lots of goodies on it. I haven’t looked at its ‘Writing Tips’ section yet, but what caught my attention were the specific search engines for literary agents and (book and magazine) publishers. In particular, you can modify your searches to limit them to your particular type of writing (eg fiction or non-fiction) and genre, plus you can allocate a specific geographic region.
There is also a writing competition search engine which I’ve tried, and it’s pretty cool too. Recently I started thinking about (and even did a couple of) short stories, so maybe I’ll give some of these competitions a go to try get some writing credits to pad (well, start) the portfolio.
Stumble It!
