Resources
Welcome to Working Writers!
Interviews:
We hope you’ll love the resources and discussion here. One of the reasons Working Writers began was to highlight some of the terrific writers who don’t seem to get the web love that other writers seem to get. If you’d like to be interviewed by Working Writers, please contact us via the contact form.

Writer’s Blogs
I wrote a post about some of my favorite writing blogs, and hope you will find as much great information on each of these sites as I have.

Favorite Vendors
Looking for some help with publicity? Or ordering business cards? Here are some sites I’ve used that might be of help to you as well.
- Web Hosting Services
I use HostGator for all my web hosting services. This includes the blog you’re reading, as well as my other personal and professional blogs. I have unlimited names and websites, and I have been happy with their service.
- Business Cards
I ordered mine through Vista Print, and wrote about my experience here. (You’ll also see a photo of what my cards look like.)
- Publicity
Almost every author I know admits that they don’t like promoting their work. It’s not that they don’t believe in what they do, it’s the fact that getting great publicity is hard. Knowing how and when to approach media is extremely important as an author. I’ve been on TV, radio shows, magazines… you name it. For years I have read and listened to the advice of Joan Stewart (AKA “The Publicity Hound®”). Joan worked in PR for years and has great tips for writers. I should know. I’ve landed some wonderful PR opportunities I never thought I would. Click here to take a look at some of the fabulous tips she offers.
