Reviews
Below, I’m going to be slowly compiling a list of books, ebooks, products and services that I’ve used and loved: they’ve added to my life in all sorts of different ways, from the novels that provided entertainment, escape and a new look at the world, to the software that’s saved me time and hassle…

Stuff for Fiction Writers
Creatively inclined? Trying out NaNoWriMo this November? I’ve reviewed some books for fiction writers: take a look!
Stuff for Freelance Writers
I’ve got reviews of books for freelancer writers (they don’t assume any prior experience or knowledge), and of course there’s my own Staff Blogging Course if you’re interested in finding paid blogging jobs. (I think it’d be a bit weird to review it myself, but I’ve quoted from and linked to other people’s reviews there!)

I love Thesis and Dreamhost both so I second both of those!! I also have SEO school by the fabulous Naomi and still working my way through that and Darren’s 31 DBBB……Thanks for the recommendations on the other topics though!!!
Cheers Farnoosh! I’m still part-way through 31 DBBB (and now Darren’s gone and sent out bonuses so I’m even more behind, drat!) … the problem isn’t having access to great resources, it’s managing to get round to using them fully!
