Information about Websites, writer's associations, technical service firms, correspondence courses, training courses, seminars, and writing and consulting books for further reading are provided. All of these resources will contribute to a successful writing career. Subtitled Turn Your Writing Skills Into $100,000 A Year, this book will convince readers that this goal is possible.
