Updated and checked all links in subsection Hodge-Podge
Internet Resources - Writers Resources - Writing Links & Writers Links for Writers - Hodge-Podge Unclassified · Multi-faceted · Writers On Writing · Writing Links with a Northern California Focus Friday, May 02, 2008
Split the promotion links off from /business
Set up a new page for BUSINESS - marketing, promotion, & publicity which includes Book Signings · Book Trailers · Marketing, Promotion, & Publicity · Your Website. The last two subsets of links were taken from the BUSINESS page and put on their own page because the business links were getting too fat. I'd earlier split off /submissions and markets/ from BUSINESS for the same reason. I've clicked through all the links on the /marketing/ page to make sure they're current and added more links as well. I also split off the book signing links from the general promotion set and added a new set of links on book trailers. Labels: update Thursday, April 10, 2008
Millionth hit has been and gone ...
The site had its millionth hit this morning. I've swopped the old GoStats hit counter out and replaced it with a SiteMeter meter. The new meter will track both visits and page views for me, but I plan to just show visits on the site stats that show to the ordinary Joe user. Clicked through and updated links for the Networking & Connections page this morning. Tuesday, April 08, 2008

[PAY MKT] Yoga Journal
Writers' Guidelines for Yoga Journal Yoga Journal covers the practice and philosophy of yoga. In particular we welcome articles on the following themes: 1. Leaders, spokespersons, and visionaries in the yoga community; 2. The practice of hatha yoga; 3. Applications of yoga to everyday life (e.g., relationships, social issues, livelihood, etc.); 4. Hatha yoga anatomy and kinesiology, and therapeutic yoga; 5. Nutrition and diet, cooking, and natural skin and body care. Payment varies, depending on length, depth of research, etc. We pay within 90 days of final acceptance: $800 to $2000 for features, $400 to $800 for departments, $25 to $100 for Om Page and Well-Being, and $200 to $250 for book reviews. No unsolicited e-sub. Labels: update, writing-market
[PAY MKT] Escape Pod
Writers' Guidelines for Escape Pod, a podcast genre 'zine. EP is a genre 'zine. We're looking for science fiction and fantasy. Please don't send us anything that doesn't fit those descriptions. And by the way, we mean SF/F on a level that matters to the plot. Your story about a little boy receiving a balloon before his heart transplant may be touching literature, but it probably isn't something we're interested in, even if you edit it so that the balloon's an alien and the heart came from Satan. (UPDATE: As of August 2006, Escape Pod no longer runs horror. We've spun that off into a sister podcast, Pseudopod, edited by Mur Lafferty and Ben Philips. We do not share our slushpiles, so please send them your horror stories directly. It's a great podcast to listen to, by the way, if you like to be disturbed.) We're primarily interested in two lengths of fiction, which we've dubbed (somewhat arbitrarily) 'short fiction' and 'flash fiction.' PAYS: $100 for short fiction (2-6K wds) and $20 for flash fiction (up to 1K wds. "sweet spot": 500 wds.) [...] Labels: SFF, update, writing-market
[PAY MKT] Paying poetry markets
[PAY MKT] South Florida Parenting
Writers' guidelines for South Florida Parenting. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR Most South Florida Parenting articles are purchased from freelance writers. In a typical issue, readers will find a variety of regular departments: Out & About, Baby Basics, Preteen Power, Family Money, Family Health and more. We also run feature articles of 800-2,000 words on topics of pertinence to South Florida parents. Features require careful research, independent reporting and well-developed interviews with South Florida sources. Our focus is on our three-county market and we prefer features that use sources and settings in South Florida. Assignments, when given, go almost exclusively to writers who live in southeast Florida. However, we do consider insightful, captivating essays and features from outside our area, particularly those that deal with universal themes and issues. All stories must include clearly identified, real sources. Articles or essays that use only first names, composites or fictional examples will not be considered. We welcome your submission of material previously published outside South Florida, if offered to us on an exclusive basis in southeast Florida. No submissions or queries that are offered to other publications in southeast Florida will ever be considered. We do not buy work from writers who are published by our competitors. For reprint offers, send either typed manuscripts or clips and let us know where the material appeared. E-sub only. $150-$300 for first publication $30-$50 for reprints, including online rights. You *must* not submit work to any other publications in South Florida. (n.b. The wording is weird: do they mean must not submit *this* piece of work or *any* piece of work? ... If you're interested in the market, might behoove you to check ...) Labels: update, writing-market Wednesday, March 07, 2007

Adding a separate page of links to publishers' submission guidelines http://www.internet-resources.com/writers/markets/online-guidelinesPUBLISHERS.htm Tuesday, October 29, 2002
Added this month A multi-page collection of links to online writers guideline pages. Some of the markets do not accept e-submissions, but all of them have their guidelines online, so you can easily check out the market and the writer reqs. The collection has a front page with some miscellaneous markets and contests on it, a page full of links to guidelines from "no pay" markets -- markets that don't pay cold hard cash for submissions-- and a page full of links to guidelines for "low pay" markets -- markets paying less than $0.05/wd or $25/article/story. The other pages are alpha lists of paying markets that pay more than "low pay," some of them up to $2K for essays and $4K+ for articles. http://www.internet-resources.com/writers/markets/online-guidelines.htm Just added A new religion writing links section on the Non-fiction writing page. http://www.internet-resources.com/writers/wrlinks-nonfiction.htm#religion Monday, August 19, 2002
Updating broken links and found that Dr. L. Kip Wheeler's page Literary Terms and Meanings had moved when he moved from UOregon to Gonzaga. The rest of his site is chock full of information, devoted to Comp-Grammar-Research-Literature due to his educational bent. I found a huge cache of useful information for writers, even if they aren't in one of Dr. Wheeler's classes. How about this one? http://guweb2.gonzaga.edu/faculty/wheeler/gram_passive_voice.html - Wheeler's rant titled Passive Voice (Why It is Evil and How to Recognize It.) Or this one? http://guweb2.gonzaga.edu/faculty/wheeler/resource_medieval_lit.html - Medieval Lit resources, with links to "Heresy Handout: A Convenient Guide to Eternal Damnation" (.pdf), Middle English Vocabulary, Numerology (.pdf), "The Seven Deadly Sins: A Convenient Guide to Eternal Damnation" and more.

FirstGov links to government resources across a wide range of subject areas and needs. St. Ambrose University - Best Information on the Net http://library.sau.edu/bestinfo/alpha.htm. BIOTN is sorted alphabetically, by major and by "hot topics" for papers. The "Art" section, f'rex, is further divvied up to sort the links by Art Education, Art Images, Events and Competitions, Exhibits, Galleries, Museums, Indexes to Art Resources, Individual Artists, Photography Sites and St. Ambrose University Art Department. Wonderful resource. These links and more like them can be found in the [Reference|Search Engines] section of http://www.internet-resources.com/writers/ Added a link to Marylaine Block's excellent What is NOT on the Net to the collection of "how cool are libraries or what?" box on the intro page. http://www.qconline.com/myword/notnet.html Block's Web site is a wonderful resource.

More On Writing http://www.rbs0.com/tw2.htm Ronald B. Standler's page links to other Web sites on writing style, describes some books Standler thinks useful and provides brief information on the subjunctive mood and word usage. One interesting subsection is on British English differences from American English. I'd seen some of these before -- and in fact, have links to such in my Word Stuff subsection -- but Standler's collection includes billion (10 to the 9th in USAn but sometimes 10 to the 12th in GB) and other Janus words which are easy to forget and confusing when engaged in cross-pond discussions. Link added to the HodgePodge|Multi-faceted section of http://www.internet-resources.com/writers/ Technical Writing http://www.rbs0.com/tw.htm Technical Writing is a set of information pulled together by Ronald B. Standler, starting in 1978 when he was teaching electrical engineering classes and wanted to help his students develop a grasp for clear, technical writing. Link added to Non-Fiction/Tech Writing subsection of http://www.internet-resources.com/writers/ Bill Johnson's Essays on the Craft of Writing Bill Johnson's site touts his book, "A Story Is A Promise: Good things to know before you write that screenplay, novel, or play" and his workshops/presentations. Also on the site is a collection of his Essays on the Craft of Writing - short pieces on writing, plot, characters, including "Foundation Principles of Storytelling," "What a Plot IS," and others. He also has essays that review movies, books and screenplays that explore how and why they work. Useful. http://www.storyispromise.com/windex.htm - Index to the Essays.

Online Etymology Dictionary Douglas Harper's Online Etymology Dictionary is a super dictionary of word origins available online. Want to know what a Fata Morgana is? Check it out in the dictionary. "These are not definitions; they're explanations of what our words meant 600 or 2,000 years ago. Think of it like looking at pictures of your friends' parents when they were your age. People will continue to use words as they will, finding new or wider meanings for old words and coining new ones to fit new situations. In fact, this list is a testimony to that process." The Dictionary is a fun browse and a useful tool. http://www.geocities.com/etymonline/ Link added to the Word Stuff|Word Stuff subsection of http://www.internet-resources.com/writers Wednesday, May 01, 2002
