Some useful links to me, some useful links for you.

• Before sending a manuscript, I always check this manuscript formatting site. One can never be too careful.
• If you are a writer who has kids, join this literary community for parents who are writers. It’s a great networking site and I don’t just say that becaue I run it.

I’ve been seen between the covers of these fine literary journals. Submit to them! (does that sound dirty?)

• Bellevue Literary Review
• Green Mountains Review
• Literal Latte
• Mississippi Review
• Oklahoma Review
• PRISM: International
• Sojourn: a Journal of the Arts
• The First Line
• The Subway Chronicles

I also dabble in excellent spec fiction:

• Fickle Muses: an online journal of myth and legend
• Black Static
• Campaign for Real Fear (and an article in the Guardian about it)

These are colleagues who influence my work, usually by reading it and telling me to cut something or another, but in some instances, just by their very existence:

• Margaret Atwood
