Best Advice

[onyxhawke]

There is so much bad information out there about the publishing industry, and writing, and how to find an agent that i was wondering what posts people had seen that had good advice. Got a link or two to share, post them in comments.

Here's a few i found interesting.

It occurs to me that i should be adding more posts to my memories....

*Yes I know its hubris to include myself, otoh if in almost two years i don't think I've said anything useful, its time to stop spewing displaced electrons. Besides, not everyone may have seen that one.

Jim Hines has made some good writing posts too.

OM, you can add Elizabeth Bear (matociquala) to that list, and you should probably browse Making Light as well. (Patrick Nielsen Hayden and Teresa Nielsen Hayden are in the publishing bidness, and there's posts on the scammers to avoid, and so on.)

Um, I thought _everyone_ read those...

Oh, that's true. No need to mention the ones everyone reads. ;-)
