After spending time researching all the web sites Annette recommends I have a lot more information. Her website http://www.annettegriessman.com/Writer.html has specific instructions for new writers that was very helpful. Her website cautions against using a vanity press. I am really thankful to get this caution--because several publishers have suggested this route. I am including almost EVERYTHING from Annette's Writer's Resources page--she has done a great job with it. Books she recommends on how to write that I plan to pick up--"Dynamic Characters" by Nancy Kress, "Beginnings, Middles, and Ends," by Nancy Kress, "Fast Fiction: Creating Fiction in Five Minutes," by Roberta Allen, "The First Five Pages: A Writer's Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile," by Noah Lukeman, "Characters and Viewpoint," by Orson Scott Card. Annette recommends The Predators and Editors Website and says it is a very, very good site to use to check out the legitimacy of publishing houses and agents. They not only list those people who are out to take advantage of uninformed writers, but they also have some excellent information topics of interest for writers. http://www.anotherealm.com/prededitors/

Besides The Predators and Editors website I will investigate http://www.verlakay.com a author Annette recommends.
