"DUOTROPE is an excellent source to look up magazine submission requirements. They used to be free, but now you have to pay. It's worth it though, they have so many magazines and their websites."

Delighted to have you in the novelist group, Karoline. If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion.

We do a live chat at 1 EST on the first Wednesdays of each month, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one.

I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Novelist Group Moderator
Author of The Wednesday Sisters (a nationally bestselling writing group novel) and the forthcoming The Wednesday Daughters (Random House/Ballantine)

Karoline, I haven't even sent one twitter! I have to start for my job; when I post a piece on the Hometown Pasadena website I am now supposed to twitter about it. Yikes. I'm hoping that once I get the hang of it, I'll do it for my personal, as well. Crossing my fingers!
