Two resources that will make your life a lot easier.
(And yes, a laptop instead of a typewriter can also be useful.)
Here are two resources I have used to find a book agent, find contact information for magazine editors, and stay on top of changes in the writing world.
WritersMarket.com (Well worth the monthly fee of $5.99 once you are serious about outreach.)
MediaBistro (A great place for freelancers and to get inside scoop/advice for approaching your favorite outlets.)
Be sure to let me know if the above helps you land that next writing gig or six figure book deal. Think big, I say. (smile)
WOW Kathleen, Fantastic resources... Can't thank you enough! I am loving this grabbing life by my Ovaries! :-)

Kathleen, thanks for offering support to writers. I recently had the most amazing experience at the Southern California Writer's Conference, which I would suggest for all writers. Since writing is such a isolating process, it's vital that we all connect, and discover that, in reality, we all have similar emotional hurdles to overcome in order to grab life by the ovaries.
