Writers Resources

The Free Dictionary -- A great, free online dictionary. I particularly like that it gives you samples of the words used in real literature, so you can get a better feel for whether you've got the right one.

Behind the Name--This one is an endlessly fascinating database of names from many different cultures. You can see the definitions of the names, and you can even search for names by definition. So, if you'd like a character whose name means "anger," you can just look that up and find wonderful names like Jarogniew.

Passionate Pen--A wonderful source for all things writing, including a great list of romance publishers and agents.

Irene Goodman Literary Agency--A new and growing site from a top-notch agency. Be sure to read Irene's "Career Doctor" column. There are also some great articles that give you the inside scoop on the publishing world.

Preditors and Editors--If you're thinking of hiring an agent, check out this site first. A comprehensive listing of agents with information about how those agents work--for instance, if they ask for the author to pay.

Charlotte Dillon--She's got an awesome list of writer resources. If you're a frustrated writer, check out her collection of First Sale Stories. Truly inspirational. And yes, mine is on there.
