So here are a couple of other interesting things to enter in the blogosphere:

And First Page Shooter at Confessions from Suite 500

If you follow the blogs of other writers, agents, and others in the publishing business, you’ll inevitably find out about contests and on-line workshops. Many agents are very generous about helping those of us trying to break in, both on their own blogs and through these contests.
One contest that’s running now is a Pitch Contest, judged by agent Natalie Fischer:

You can’t beat that. A chance to have a real agent judge your pitch–and maybe even request more from you.
There are other opportunities out there, too, that I’ll probably blog about in the near future.
As a side benefit, I often discover some really good blogs by following these links. That’s a hint, folks.
