Amazon.com Review
This directory reviews Net resources for their value to writers. It takes you to sites on the business of writing, including sites about agents, professional organizations, how to market your writing, and publishing houses. The Writer's Internet Sourcebook then goes through each major genre of writing, from mystery to romance to journalism, and recommends sites for each. Book sections group together sites that help you improve your writing or that provide resources on grammar, copyediting, or language use. One of the longest sections features sites that assist aspiring or established Net writers in self-publishing or writing for zines or various online print publications. The book's most vital resource is its listing of the sites, newsgroups, and mailing lists where freelance writers or book authors working alone can gather at their own electronic water cooler. The book concludes with four valuable appendices: essential bookmarks for writers; mailing lists and newsgroups; sites that teach you how to create your own Web site; and--what every writer needs--a few places just for fun.

Great sourcebook, but sadly, it's out of date...

When I was making my decision to purchase I failed to look at the copyright date: Jan. 1997. Big mistake when buying books based on the Internet. This one excited my interest because it is a wonderful resource of well-organized links to a gold mine of resources on the net. Just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, it has (apparently) not been updated for over three years and those fantastic URL's are awesome no longer. Nevertheless, in many cases, an astute surfer can still track down the missing links. So, I advise caution before you buy. Patient people with wealth to spare, jump right in there. Those with higher expectations and more limited means, stay away!
