Useful Websites ...

As people mention useful websites for writers to me, I'll pop them on here.

Visit Daniel Blythe's www.danielblythe.moonfruit.com for excellent information and sensible advice about getting published, among other things.

Andy Wattie (Barnsley Writers) recommends: www.poetryscotland.co.uk which includes the following:

POETRY WORKSHOP COMMENTS: A short glossary
I'd like to hear that again = I was half asleep with boredom.
If you left out the first two and last two lines and reworked stanza four ... = Scrap it.
Where did you get that idea? = Rubbish.
The language is so unusual in this poem = The language is grammatically and syntactictically incomprehensible.
Did that actually happen? = What a sordid life you must lead.
... and more ... from James Hall Thomson

Oh,dear!

Also highly recommended:
www.poetrymagazines.co.uk when you want to extend their reading of excellent contemporary poetry and don't know where to start. This site also gives you a good idea of where you might begin to send your poems - which magazines might like your work.
www.poemhunter.com will help you find that poem!
and why not e-mail info@carcanet.co.uk to join the subscription list for the Carcanet monthly newsletter, which always contains a sample poem from a recent Carcanet publication.

There are so many brilliant websites waiting to be discovered!
