Writing is a solitary endeavor, but trying to get published doesn’t have to be.

Want to support an author's or illustrator's new book but can't afford to buy it? Here's what you can do.
(Updated September 18, 2015)
The quandary: You want to support someone's new book and as much as you'd like to buy it, you can't. Perhaps you can't justify the cost of the new book right now. Perhaps your author friend is prolific and has multiple books coming out, and you can't afford to get them all. Perhaps you have so many author and illustrator friends that if you tried to buy all their books, you'd need to sell your car first. Or your house.

Writing community highlight: Writer's Bloq
Just found out about Writer's Bloq, which describes itself as follows:
We are a community for MFA and Undergraduate writing students, professors, and alumni to share work, connect with peers, discover new writing, and uncover literary events. At the moment, there are students, alumni, and professors registered from programs including Austin, Brooklyn, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, New School, NYU, Stanford, and Syracuse.
