The Center for Fiction

The Center for Fiction, a great place in Manhattan and online for writers and readers.

Also, "the only nonprofit literary organization in the U.S. To sign up for their blog newsletter is free and and updates include presentations, grants, classes, reading groups and programs for kids. They also "recognize the best in the world of fiction through our annual awards" and have a rare book shops.

By the way, I posted one of my favorite books on writing and life: Roger Rosenblatt's "Unless It Moves The Human Heart". Have a moving day!

A place to connect writers with Beta readers. Sometimes writers get so involved in the plot they can't see the wood for the trees. Hang on a sec'--that's a cliche and it's better to remove it. A cliche is just one of the things to look out for while writing. They can slip in unnoticed and ruin an otherwise great paragraph. Then there's the passive voice, accents, misspelling, typos, incorrect data. The list is long. Avid Beta readers are not your editor or proof reader and don't expect them to do the grunt work. That's up to you. But they could have spotted a few fleas BEFORE you released the book and helped strengthen your story. Post Your genre. Get a group of 'well read' writers/readers to offer their feedback.
