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.
For those familiar with my work in horror and science fiction may be surprised that I plan to publish a children’s picture book based on a long poem which I wrote, Dragon Eggs. I feel this poem could be divided into a picture book.
Just wanted to let you know why I find a few of the following websites interesting.

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. So when using any website consider the value of the site to you and if it is worth the occasion annoying ad.
