NEWS ON THE WRITTEN WORD

In Tools this month, we discuss bibliographies for e- resources. To hold the literary line of thought, let's talk about news resources for the world of writing.

POETS & WRITERS

Poets & Writers brings us the Writing World, a weekly aggregation of news and awards from the world of publishing. Check out the extensive archives, which date back to June 1996. Use the search function at the top of the page to search for your literary target.

THE WRITE NEWS

The Write News (ooh, I like this name) sums up the news on the media and publishing industries. Scroll down the home page for the link to the browsable archives or use the search engine and its delimiters to hone your query.

I could pull together more descriptions of the contents, but The Write News brings together great resources and features that you need to explore for yourself. The Editorial Dead Zone eulogizes "Recent Passings" in the industry such as layoffs and significant changes in the industry. Around the Web informs us about recent industry news. Scroll to the end of the page for links to news by industry. The Industry Links has more than enough Resources and Companies to keep a researcher satisfied.
