For Writers
Writer's
Free Reference
There is so much information available here, it is
unbelievable.
Visit the site and spend a little time checking it out. You will not be
disappointed.
Funds For Writers
is owned and run by Hope C. Clark. The site specializes in grants for
writers, but there is plenty more on the site and if you are a writer
this is a site that might prove to be very useful to you. The site
offers two newsletters. One of them is available by paid subscription
only and the other one is free. I subscirbe to the free one and it is
worth getting it for the market listing alone. Talking of market
listings, hope has also written a lot of ebooks, most of which are
market guides and all of which are available to buy from the site.

Horror Writers
The
Horror Writers Association
The
HWA exists to promote and protect the careers of professional horror
writers and those who hope to become professional horror writers. The
HWA also works very hard to raise the profile of the horror and dark
fantasy genres.
The Internet Sacred Text Archive
is an incredibly useful site that offers the largest freely available
archive of online books about religion, mythology, folklore and the
esoteric on the internet. If you need to do some research into
religions or the occult I can think of no better place start.
Encyclopedia
Mythica
Encyclopedia
Mythica is an award-winning internet encyclopaedia of mythology,
folklore, and religion. The mythology section of the site is divided by
geographical region and the folklore section contains general folklore,
Arthurian legends, and fascinating folktales from all around the world.
Special interest areas include a bestiary, legendary heroes, an image
gallery, and genealogical tables of various pantheons and prominent
houses. The site is easy to navigate and is a great research tool.
MARKET
DATABASES
Ralan.com
There are a lot of sites on the net that offer market
information, but, as far as markets for speculative fiction are
concerned, I believe this one to be the best. The site is regularly
updated and paying markets are segregated from their non-paying
counterparts. Semi-pro and Professional markets also have their own
section of the site. There is a wealth of information on this site, but
don't just take my word for it, check it out for yourself: Ralan.com
Dark
Markets.com Another useful
site. It's updated regularly and it's free.
Horror
Tree Definitely worth checking out, the Horror Tree
is a resource for horror authors—mainly those who are looking for a
market for their short stories. Owned and run by Stuart Conover, the
site lists horror anthologies and publishers that are taking
submissions.
General
Horror Links
OTRCat.com
(old time radio show catalogue) is a great resource for fans of old
radio shows. Visitors to the site can listen to thousands of old-time
radio episodes online, download full episodes in mp3 format, or buy
them as a collection on a CD. The site boasts shows from many different
genres and has a whole section dedicated to shows in the mystery/horror
genre. Check it out!
