P & E, Absolute Write

These two sites are invaluable to aspiring writers, and it makes me realize what great people are out there. In P & E, AKA Predators and Editors, you have a wonderful site that not only lists prospective Literary Agents and Publishers, but also gives tons more info on about every aspect of the publishing process.

With Absolute Write, you have a forum of writers, both established and prospective, who offer advice and information to anyone who seeks it. If you take the time to check out either one, before or after you query, you can get the lowdown on any agent or publisher. My advice is to check one or both of these sites before signing with any agent or publisher.
