Resources for writers

If you're anything like me, I'm always looking for ways to move my writing career forward. Hence the inspiration behind this section.

My articles about writing & creativity have appeared all over the Internet, including Writing-World.com, Creative-Portal.com, and Absolutewrite.com.

In addition, I'm a columnist for Creativity Connection, a newsletter devoted to writers. It's published by the folks who work at the Division of Continuing Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Creativity Connection "offers information, encouragement and inspiration to writers of all shapes and sizes." For a free issue, contact Marshall J. Cook, mcook@dcs.wisc.edu or 608-262-4911.

Feel free to contact me with any feedback you have on this section or anything else on this site. I'd love to hear from you.
