Links

This is a page dedicated to all kinds of interesting links that are worth your time. Once the list of links started to get a bit long I decided to move it from the sidebar and give it a page of its own.

If you’re a writer looking for potential markets for your work, I’ve made a page specifically for you.

Check out the Markets For Writers Page here.

Otherwise, scroll down – the links are organised into vague categories.
