Thanks!

Very good resource. Thank you. Personally I found Guido Henkel's guide to be lacking any robust testing and wasted a lot of time on it. Although I think he genuinely means well. For standard fiction you could use sigil and have it formatted for epub and amazon in a couple of hours. Will definitely check out some of the other pages tho, especially the book announcement sites. Thanks again.

This monster list is an incredible resource. Thank you for compiling it.

I was especially glad to see among your industry blogs the ones by Passive Guy (passivevoice.com) and Kris Rusch (kriswrites.com). Both are exceptionally helpful.

It is getting to be a monster. And to think, it started out its life as a short, one-page list.

LectorsBooks · « **Reply #11 on:** April 30, 2013, 12:53:26 PM »

What a great list! Could you add Lector's Proofreading under Editors? Here's the link: http://lectorsbooks.com/proofreading/

Thank you. I'm so impressed!

Sophrosyne · « **Reply #15 on:** April 30, 2013, 01:14:44 PM »

Thanks. It fell by the wayside while I was sick, so I'm trying to get back in the groove with it.

Thanks so much! missed it the first time, and even did a search of the page and it didn't come up. Oh well at least it's there, even if both my computer and I are blind! LOL

Sophrosyne · « **Reply #17 on:** April 30, 2013, 01:22:11 PM »

You're welcome! I know it can be a bit confusing to look through. I'm planning to alphabetize all the links soon, so that should help.

If anyone notices that there's anyone missing, please let me know. Like, for instance, on the Publish links, I had forgotten Draft-2-Digital.

AgnesWebb · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2013, 02:19:36 PM »

You're amazing. Thanks!

Cory · « **Reply #19 on:** April 30, 2013, 02:40:46 PM »

Must have taken you forever to compile this list! Thank you very much.

Shalini Boland · « **Reply #20 on:** April 30, 2013, 03:29:13 PM »

This is a wonderful list! Thanks so much for posting.

Wo3lf · « **Reply #21 on:** April 30, 2013, 03:51:31 PM »

Only discovered this post today. I'm blown away by the number of links you've provided. Just wow! Sincerely thank you for this.

JeanneM · « **Reply #22 on:** April 30, 2013, 05:14:26 PM »

Thank you so much for doing this. What a lot of work. I'm sorry you've been ill but am glad you are feeling better.

Sophrosyne · « **Reply #23 on:** April 30, 2013, 05:15:49 PM »

You're welcome. It was something I really wanted when I started out, and it didn't exist. And I had to look things up each time I wanted to do anything. So, I created this list for me, and for everyone else who was starting out and didn't know where to go for different things. And it just kept expanding.
