Awesome Links

The Bookshelf Muse

Emotion thesaurus, character trait thesaurus, setting thesaurus, weather thesaurus, color/texture thesaurus…this is hands-down one of the best internet resources for writers.

Nathan Bransford: Book-Publishing Terminology

Mr. Bransford’s blog is hands-down one of the most helpful resources for authors seeking publication, but this post (a glossary of industry terminology) is particularly useful.

The Other Side of the Story

YA Fantasy writer Janice Hardy has tons of good information to share. Definitely worth reading if you’re interested in this genre.

The Parody Playlist

The reason I do not know the actual lyrics to any pop songs. But actually.

Pimp My Novel: Terms to Know

An all-around great publishing blog, but this page on industry abbreviations is particularly useful.

The Query Shark

Janet Reid, literary agent and part-time great white shark, critiques query letters. Expect buckets of snark mixed in with the chum.

Sleep Talkin’ Man

Pure hilarity. The nighttime ramblings of a mild-mannered Englishman whose wife records them and shares them with the world.

Stuff You Missed In History Class

One of my all-time favorite podcasts. Entertaining, educational, and the source of many an awesome story idea. Subscribe. Do it.

Thoughts from a Lit Agency Intern

A hilarious and informative look at one young man’s brief stint as an agency intern. Useful in learning how not to query.

Write or Die

A good, swift kick in the butt for writers who get hung up on worrying about the quality of their first drafts. A NaNoWriMo lifesaver.
