“Toot your own horn, or the same shall not be tooted.” Such was the advice I got from a college music teacher. I’ve always thought that he should have added something about having some humility, too. This sage advice came to me as I thought about the wealth of writers’ resources I’ve collected on this site.

Last week, I posted links to several sites featuring writer helps. Together, the writers featured in that post have published hundreds of books and articles. Who better to help you figure out how to get your work published than somebody who has traveled that road ahead of you?

This week, I want to point out the resources available on my site. First, you might want to know more about me before you check out the advice I’m passing out. See a partial listing of my published work here and visit my bio page here.

I’ll now take you on the grand tour.

  • Start with the Resources page, where you’ll find a list of books I recommend for beginning writers, especially those interested in the Christian market.
  • Next, go to the Resources Links page for a listing of online resources.
  • Visit Blog4writers at this link. The Search box is the fastest way to find articles of interest to you. You can also browse Categories from the drop-down menu in the sidebar, or, if you can browse the Tags list further down on the sidebar.
  • If you need marketing ideas, go to the Marketing page.
  • Don’t miss my how-to article on writing devotionals.
  • If you need editorial assistance, go to my Editorial Services page.
  • See my for-sale items in the Store.
  • I invite you to read some of my work while you’re visiting. You can follow think links to specific articles on the About page. Read some of my devotionals here.

If you like the blog content, subscribe to updates by e-mail on the sidebar. If you prefer to subscribe by RSS feed, click on the orange RSS icon at top of any page. Or, you can go to the bottom of any page and click on RSS Feeds. For more on how to follow blogs using RSS feeds, see this how-to article.

Now that I’ve tooted my own horn, I’m offering to let you toot yours on Blog4writers. If you are a current subscriber and if you specialize in any topic related to writing for publication. I’m open to guest posts (no pay) of no more than 500 words on any topic in my category list. See that list by going here. and checking out the category drop-down menu. Please query first by e-mailing me at akinemily@gmail.com. Please provide a proposed title and your qualifications for writing on your subject. If your post fits the “editorial needs at this particular time,” I will post on the blog at my discretion. Plus, I will post announcements on Facebook and Twitter to draw attention to your post.

Post-script: Last week, I should have listed Donna Goodrich’s site, The Writer’s Friend. Visit her tips page for a myriad of helps, all easily printable, and check out her books page, too.
