The site for writers of all genre, and the readers who love them. Find what you want to know.
Preditors and Editors
Preditors and Editors have taken on some new staff.
New volunteers and we’ve moved to WordPress to boot. Things are going to change slightly, but we’re going to carry on David and Andrew’s vision while building what we hope will be a useful, relevant site to every single writer. We want to make sure that whether you’re self-publishing, querying or working with a publisher, that you’ve got the information you need.
THEY HAVE NOT UPDATED THEIR WEBSITE IN A COUPLE YEARS –
Until then, please follow us on Facebook.
