If you're looking to write a book or pitch an article...

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)
