Actually, I'd be more concerned about the sites that charge for the information they provide. There are so many free writing sites that there's little need to pay to read articles on the web. There are some good print magazines that require a subscription, but a many of those offer free articles on the web as well.

One of the reasons Fiction Factor is free is because we wanted to share what we'd learned and to help new writers avoid being scammed by some of the dishonest agents and publishers that lurk in the writing world.


Tina's right. I'd also be more concerned about some of the sites that charge exorbitant amounts for providing information that canot be verified as being written by someone who knows what they're talking about.

I could mention a couple of different sites (and their owners) personally who claim to be experts and charge like wounded bulls - and yet have never had a single thing professionally published before. But I won't give names. I don't work that way.

Paying for information does not always mean you're getting quality.

However - there are quite a lot of free information sites around run by writers specifically for writers. Fiction factor is just one of many such sites around at the moment.
