Where do babies come from
This is by no means a comprehensive listing of anything. It is a tracking of sites that I use, web pages that I find or end up reading, at some point or the other.
RESOURCES
Zoetrope This site is a great resource. You can get feedback on posted stories. It is also possible to work with other writers in 'offices' or 'collaboration rooms'. There are main discussion pages as well. It takes time to build up a network of writers who understand your work and can give a response to a story that works for you. Perseverance helps.
New Pages A frequently updated market guideline and information portal on literary magazines. Plus other categories that might be useful.
Going down Swinging A Melbourne site, that has lots of news and links to local competitions and calls for submission.
