Resources for poets & such

So, if you're a writer and you've spent any time on the Internet, you know there are an overwhelming number of resources out there. The trick is filtering out all the crap that doesn't meet your needs. For me, that means resources that complement my inherent laziness and the fact that I work a full-time job.

Case in point. My friend Soham put me onto this wonderful listserve that posts calls for submission. It's not just poetry, it's also fiction & creative nonfiction. I dig it. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/crwropps-b/

This concept, in turn, opened my eyes to looking for other really easy ways to submit my poetry. :) In the course of my research, I found this resource page, which seems pretty good although I haven't tested any of the links yet. It lists all the poetry publishers that will accept online submissions: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/pbonline.html

Writer's Digest has some pretty good articles. One that particularly struck my interest was this: http://www.writersdigest.com/article/28-agents-who-want-your-work/

http://www.poetry.org/ is an elegant site whose resource page has many useful links.

This site rocks as well: http://www.pw.org/classifieds

My friend also recommended http://www.newpages.com/. Definitely seems like a good site although just in posting these few links I've managed to overwhelm myself again. I need a nap. Or maybe some chocolate.

(A couple days later) In the meantime, I'm pretty pleased with the progress I've made so far on my NaNo novel.
