http://www.sfwa.org - The Science Fiction Writers Association. Targetted for Sci-Fi and Fantasy, this site has incredible articles for writing, from creating through getting published. No matter what your genre, you've got to go here! http://www.horror.org - For horror writers (Go figure!) but, like the SFWA, it has a lot of good articles to help improve your writing, plus a large list of links to other sites. http://www.writing-world.com/ This site also has on-line classes for learning how to write query letters, etc. http://www.hollywoodnet.com/indexmain.html Forum boards for information on screen plays. Some forum boards require membership (having sold at least 1 screen play.) but even the non-membership boards are packed with info. http://www.hollywoodnet.com/Crime/index.html - Another Hollywood.net board, but for crime writing. Most of the boards require membership, but the ones that don't are just incredible. If you want to write a crime story, go through and read all the posts. You'll learn a lot. I could go on for pages, but those are some of the best I've found. What are some other great sites out there?

Don't know if they fixed it or not Have fun :)

I've belonged to a very friendly group called 'WriteThing'. For writers of all experiences. They do lots of exercises, have publishing tips and a good crit system amongst other things. Sadly, I haven't been active in the group for many months. Jack
