How Do I Start Writing?
The simplest way to start writing is to pick
up the pen or turn on the computer and begin. To find out other tricks of
the trade, read this article.
Picking a Pen Name
Why would a writer use a pen
name/pseudonym? There are almost as many reasons as there are writers.
Here are more reasons. Learn why here.
Do Beginning Authors Need Agents?
"The kind of agent a beginner can get,
you're better off without." from Marion Zimmer Bradley's advice to young
writers. See what else you need to know about them here.
Editing Your Work
Professional writers, writers who
consistently sell what they write, know that writing a piece is only
the beginning. The editing is where the work takes its true shape,
where it becomes lean and mean and says exactly what the author meant
it to say. Learn more here.
Easy Ways to Avoid Sexist Writing
If you're writing for the usual mix
of humanity, your audience will be roughly half male and half
female. With this in mind, the successful writer is not likely to
ignore half of that audience by writing exclusively to one gender or
the other. Learn other ways here.
The Lowdown on Query Letters
A query letter is simply a letter
asking an agent or editor for permission to send your manuscript
for review. It attempts to convince an agent to represent your
work, or it tries to persuade an editor to publish you. Learn how
you can achieve this here.
How Real is Writer's Block?
Does writer's block happen to all

Asimov and Louis L'Amour ever experienced a block in their
creativity. Prolific writers may be those who have learned to
deal with and move beyond their blocks. Learn how here.
