Expertise: Beth Austin is a grandmother, computer geek, horsey person, and martial artist. She also writes. After spending more years than she cares to count churning out technical documentation for the Computer Industry, she decided to turn her hand at creative writing. She's been published in both print and electronic media, and, although it is not nearly as remunerative financially as technical writing, it's much more rewarding to her soul. Like every other writer in the world, she has a couple of books in the works. Her published creative writing consists of an eclectic potpourri of fact, fantasy and fiction. Services Offered: - Technical Writing - Internet Research - Commissioned Articles (any subject) - Editing (fiction and non-fiction) - ‘Puter Tutor (1 on 1 instruction, reasonable rates, your place or mine - you pay travel expenses;-)

Well! I figured out how to get things into folders in the Review section.

So! The links for Internet for Writers Workshop #2 are in that folder. It's listed under 'Latest Additions' in the left column (at least until I add something else).

Cheers,
Beth

Following is the list of URLs that I pass along to participants in my Internet for Writers' workshop.

I'm including them here so they are readily available for future reference for those who attend my workshop, and also to share with any other writers on the internet who might find them useful.

I won't be updating this list, so it is possible that after a period of time some of the links might be duds. Sorry about that, but if you want the latest and the greatest, come to my workshop.

PS: Since I first published this list, Themestream.com has gone belly up, so all the links to that site are dead. I'm sorrier than you are.

Cheers,
Beth
