A Little Help for Those in the Writing Field

The world can be a dangerous place for writers or those working in the writing and publishing industries. Just like any other industry, the writing business is filled with scammers, cheats, and charlatans. Since a great many writers primarily represent themselves -- early in their careers -- they can easily be taken advantage of.

Writers have to do a lot of research for their various stories and articles, but they must also carefully research who they are applying to for editing services, publishing consideration, or literary representation. Thankfully there is a very trustworthy site that all of the professionals stand behind.

Preditors and Editors is not the prettiest website in the world wide web -- as a matter of fact, it is atrocious. Styled in 1995-what are graphics?-style, the "website" is really more of a long list/directory of certified editors and publishers, and those claiming to be editors and publishers. each listing let's you know if they charge reading fees, if they are a vanity press, and other information to help you make your decision.
