This big list of literary magazines just will not die. June 2013 we went all the way through this list and checked for broken urls. We hope that you will use our EWR: Literary Magazines database instead of this list, but we have found that many diehards really like a long list like this one.
See the list: Literary Magazines: The Big List | | Every Writers Resource.
Fun and/or informative links for the horror lovers. I don’t mind a good thriller or gothic fiction (horror light?) but horror is a genre at another level of scary, which is too much for me. Guaranteed I will have nightmares.

If your company publishes content, you probably need a style guide. It might sound like a huge undertaking, but style guides don’t have to be exhaustive. In fact, the exhaustive ones are usually counterproductive because nobody bothers reading them.
Style guides don’t magically turn people into good writers, but they do get everyone on the same page and help keep your company’s content consistent.

Mind mapping is the process of using visual diagrams to show the relationships between ideas or information. Its popular uses include project planning, collecting and organizing thoughts, brainstorming and presentations — all in order to help solve problems, map out resources and uncover new ideas.
It can be more useful than trying to keep track of our ideas by scribbling them on paper, and can aid in manipulating and generating concepts.
We’ve compiled a list of 24 mind mapping tools to help you organize, summarize and visualize information, with both free and paid versions available to suit any budget or requirement. The tools mentioned are either browser- or desktop-based, with a selection of mind mapping mobile apps at the end of the article for use on iOS and Android devices.
See the list: 24 Essential Mind Mapping and Brainstorming Tools | Mashable.

This ebook contains some new content but mostly posts that have appeared previously on the blog. It is not necessarily a compilation of the best of Hack Library School or even indicative of the breadth of our content; instead, we have selected content based on the most practical advice we could give to others to–you guessed it–hack library school. We’ve divided the content into three main sections: Before Library School, During Library School, and After Library School. Within these sections, you will also find sub-sections intended to help organize the content meaningfully.
