 Check out the May/June 2013 – “Writer’s Digest for The 15th Annual “101 Best Websites for Writers.” Tiffany Luckey, with Ophelia Thomas compiled the selections. Here are my personal top six favorites from the list.  But depending upon your writing needs there are many to explore.

--  Jane Friedman’s website – janefriedman.com
     Examines writing and publishing in the digital age.
--  Preditors & Editors – pred-ed.com
     Looks at scams, fraud, & “slicky-icky” creeps preying on writers.
--  Writer Unboxed website – writerunboxed.com
     Gives craft & business advice.
--  C.Hope Clark’s website –fundsforwriters.com
     Gives information on writers markets that pay.
--  The Review Review – thereviewreview.com
     Gives comprehensive guide to latest issues & needs of lots of publications.
--  Jeff Goins, Writer   -- goinswriter.com
     Gives positive inspiration to writers on craft & living as a writer.

For details on these and other sites useful to writers go to the Writer’s Digest website found at WritersDigest.com

This is a reading week for me, as well as a week for exploration, while I refresh my experience banks for future writing projects. I am on vacation from my regular writing projects. And it is sunny and lovely here in Hawaii.
