Markets points to the Inkspot Writer Guidelines Library, which advises on submissions policies. Articles and Columns includes the latest issue of the biweekly newsletter Inklings, pitched mainly to beginners, access to back issues, highlighted articles from the zine and other columnists on the site. Inklings contains updates on marketing, new web resources, interviews with authors, and articles on topics such as finding an editor, rejections, and advice on negotiations. Inkspot's pages have a consistent look, with a limited imagemap guide at the top of each page with links back to the homepage, and access to the onsite search engine. For the large amount of information, the site is easily navigable.
Resources are frequently cross-referenced.
Since Inkspot recently changed its design, you might hit a page that has not yet been updated. In order to keep the content free, Inkspot includes banner ads, paid classifieds, and sponsorship ads. It lacks a writer's full reference shelf. PA Less well organized than Inkspot and more focused on poetry, ZuZu's Petals boasts over 4000 links for writers, artists, performers, and researchers. Not just a compilation of pointers, the site contains good advice for poets, marketing information, and forums for interaction among writers.
