Today I’m doing something a little different for my Friday post. I’d love to get published as much as the next writer. I research, look for leads, anything which will help me on my venture. Recently, I hit the book “The Career Novelist: A Literary Agent Offers Strategies for Success” by Donald Maas. It’s a free download available on his website. This book offers a not-so-quick, but invaluable overview of the publishing business. The copyright is 1996 but the information still seems relevant to my inexperienced eyes.
Now, rather than give my amateur advice today, I’m asking for yours.
The more I get into the writing business, the more I realize I have to learn. Sad thing about it all, I don’t know what I don’t know. 
So if you’ll share with me today, I’d be much appreciative. What type of resources have you found invaluable? Websites, blogs, books, specific workshops, groups, etc.
Impart your great wisdom upon me so that I might be wise also. Now don’t be shy. Help out your aspiring writer.

Reena Jacobs is just your typical writer who loves to see her words in print. As an avid reader, she’s known to hoard books and begs her husband regularly for “just one more purchase.” Her home life is filled with days chasing her preschooler and nights harassing her husband. Between it all, she squeezes in time for writing and growling at the dog. You can find Reena on Ramblings of an Amateur Writer, Amazon, Goodreads, Barnes & Nobles, and Smashwords.
