Twitterific links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 23,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.

Check out the new resource for writers.  It’s Alex J. Cavanaugh’s Insecure Writer’s Support Group website.  There you’ll find pages of links to resources—writing tips, publishers, agents, queries, self-publishing, marketing, contests, and publications for writers.

    Thank you :-) Love the links…

  2. Alex J. CavanaughOctober 27, 2013

    Some good ones today! Off to explore…

  3. Margot KinbergOctober 27, 2013

    Elizabeth – I know I say this all the time, but I hope you know how much we all appreciate all of the work you and Mike do to make this treasure trove possible!

  4. Deb Nam-KraneOctober 27, 2013

    Thank you so much for mentioning my piece! Now to hold my head high as the world finds out how much I valued Falcon Crest and Dynasty :-D

  5. Julie MusilOctober 28, 2013

    Thanks SO much for all this great information!

  6. Barry KnisterOctober 29, 2013

    Elizabeth–thanks again for so much information. But I have to say there’s such a thing as too much info. What I wish someone would come up with for indie writers is a wholly independent service that ranks/rates people in the business of providing writers with marketing help. It would be an “Angie’s List” or “Consumer’s Report,” without allegiances or affiliations, just unbiased information.
    But in the absence of such a service, thank you yet again for giving writers so much help!

  7. Francesca StaAna NicasioOctober 30, 2013

    Great resources, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing and I’m honored to be included in the list. :) -Francesca
