- A page of links to English Language poetry and literature websites -

Share

Our sister site: booksmusicfilmstv.com

On this page you'll find links to poetry and writing magazines, poetry and writing publishers, short story magazines and publishers, science fiction magazines and publishers, e-book publishers, poetry and writing competitions, poetry and writing organisations, writing courses, poetry and writing resources, poet and writers websites, and a whole lot more besides!

N.B. Some sites are in more than one category, as I think they had to be. Where appropriate, I have made some comment, or used quotes from the relevant website, to help give you some kind of further guideline. I've tried to avoid including vanity presses and bitchy sites - as I've no time for either.
