Absolute Write

A site with a sense of humour. And not a 'wahay, aren't we wacky' kind of humour, more a witty, light hearted, 'we enjoy what we do' humour. Which immediately endears you to it. It's a little overwhelming at first in that it's difficult to know where to go. A little browsing is in order first. Eventually the conclusion will be reached that there is a wealth of articles columns, links, markets and reviews all aimed at making your writing better and then giving yourself the best possible chance of selling it.


If you are currently putting words together, trying to get them in the best order and maybe hoping someone will buy the finished product off you, then you need the links on the Take Me To line. Everyone else can amuse themselves with the links next to the green dots just underneath the site title.


SPECIAL FEATURES


Play/Screenwriting Lots of good articles. Then there is even more to be learnt from industry professionals who share some thoughts. There are also regular columns, links, latest news and a fairly lively message board. This is pretty much a screenwriting site all on it's own.


Freelance Writing More of the same for those writers writing articles. There is also a huge list of markets and freelance news items of the moment.


Novels & Non-Fiction News, articles, interviews, and reviews of relevant books.


Speciality Writing A little something for writers who specialise in e-books, poetry, short stories, technical writing, comic books, newsletters, books for children and even one-liners.


E-Zines Want information sent to your computer without the need to do anything other than give your email address? You know you do. Seven such lists that all come highly recommended. They include a screenwriting list, an erotica writing list and a variety of newsletter filled with general news, tips and articles.


Fun Stuff When you can't bear to write another word amuse yourself for hours with these links to things to make you laugh.


Other Features Absolute Write will design your website for you, for a fee, obviously. You can also buy books, software and merchandise but it's all in dollars and in America, so if anything takes your fancy, search for it on British sites. There are also even more market links listed.
