This review is from: Writing in Ohio : Guide to Publishers, Writers Groups, Educational Opportunities and More, 3rd Edition (Paperback)

Don't let the word "Ohio" in this title fool you. This is a resource book for writers, wherever they may reside.

Because sometimes the very last is best, let's start there. Check out the appendix. Ohio literary agents may be just as effective as any, right? And editorial services can be rendered from Ohio as well as from a writers' home town now that we all know how to attach documents to e-mail. Community resource centers? The Cleveland State University has a poetry center, and the four pages of other schools of advanced learning in this book are sure to have home study courses, literary journals and other services for writers everywhere. Most are listed with URLs and e-mail addresses.

Elsewhere in this book a writer will find useful awards and prizes, book fairs, poetry readings, publishers, retreats, and on and on. Ohio isn't a foreign country. Writers write there and readers read! Ohio is a RESOURCE. But then author Lavern Hall knows this all too well.
