Writing Advice from Juli: I think attending conventions such as the World Fantasy Convention or the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) or more local events is a great way to meet people, and they often include presentations on writing and the business of being a writer. Online, Jane Friedman’s blog gives wonderful advice. Writing Excuses is a favorite podcast. Of course, Wulf Moon offers a stupendous workshop that turns out top-flight authors. Lastly, if you can manage it, joining a critique group like critters.org is an awesome way to sharpen your skills.
