Chosen as a best website
-------------------------------

Our site was listed on the prestigious "Writer's Digest 101 best websites for writers for 2006" in the United States.

We were selected from more than 1,400 entries and those selected were described by the judges as being the most valuable websites for writers.

This year's list was simplified into six categories: creativity, general resources, genre/niche, just for fun, publishing resources and writing sites.

Our category, where we are one of only 11 sites listed is: Publishing Resources.

For the full list see the website.

Writer’s Digest is the world's leading magazine for writers, founded in 1920. Writer's Market, the US bible for writers seeking to publish their work, was first published in 1921. Together, they form the foundation of a wide range of informational, instructional and inspirational offerings for modern writers.
