Last weekend I launched my newest pet project, Author Scoop, a constantly updated news and information portal for writers. The site features links to the latest news on authors, books and publishing—along with a growing list of links to resources and sites of interest to writers.
Take a look and click around. If you like what you see, tell a friend.
If you have a site you'd like to see linked on Author Scoop, shoot me an email and we can work out a link exchange.
