In reply to Karen DeBonis. Excellent advice, Karen. It's easy to get involved with too many groups. The same suggestion goes for social media. Spreading one's self too thin is never good.

In reply to barbaralinnprobst. Barbara, thank you for the additional resource! The Women's Fiction Writers Association needs to be included. Their active social media presence is a real plus on top of everything else they do.

Thanks for the great resources, Ellen. Something I might add is not to feel pressured to engage with every resource. When I started writing, I joined every group, subscribed to every blog, showed up to every social media platform. It left no time for writing! My advice - pick a few places that work best for you, and leave the rest for others.

An important addition to your list is Women Fiction Writers Association, which offers a wealth of resources, workshops, webinars, critique group programs, mentorship pairings, and much more in addition to an active Facebook group! For debut authors, each year there is a new Facebook group that actively offers support and exchange of resources and ideas.
