WEBSITES HELPFUL TO WRITERS
This is a series of posts which, I think, will be beneficial to writers.
But first, I would like to include my usual warning about using websites.
Whenever you check a website you are, in my opinion and I talk from experience, being put on a list for sale. So, expect the possibility of being bombarded by ads from companies you, perhaps, have never heard of and have no interest in.
By the same token, I feel that once you call a business for information you are also put on a list, for sale, of similar companies to the one you have called.
That’s just how it is in today’s society.
I hope you find the information offered in these posts helpful.
Anyone familiar with my blog is aware of the area, Writer’s Forum, which already offers a host of websites important for writers.

WRITER’S FORUM
30 CHILDREN’S BOOK PUBLISHERS
Again, the title says it all.
The publishers in this website should provide you with the information you need to work with them in publishing your picture book. However, I can almost guarantee that you receive ads from them or other publishers. If you find that you are interested in a publisher, once again, do your homework. To not commit to anything until you are certain that this is a publisher you want to work with. Also, it is free.

When you use a site indicating that it is free your email address or telephone number is probably being added to a list which will be sold.
