WRITING:
PREDITORS AND EDITORS:
Publishing is a business, and like any business, it can be infiltrated by frauds.  Before you sign with
anyone, check them out.  This website is a guide to publishers and writing services for serious writers.  
Some subjects include Agents & Attorneys, Book Publishers, Definitions, Editing & Software, Email,
Promotional, Rating Criteria, Related Sites, Resources for Screenwriters, Signings, Submissions,
Warnings, Workshops.

EDITOR-ON-TAP:
To attract a literary agent or publisher, a manuscript must shine and show the author's best work.  From
what I've learned, gone are the days when a rough manuscript makes it to a publishing editor.   Editor on
Tap Lois Winsen will make your work shine when you need editing.  She also offers plot, character and
structure critique, line edit, and polishing services on a freelance, project basis.  I found her easy to work
with and her suggestions and editing most valuable.
VERBAL  ABUSE:   
Patricia Evan's site is dedicated to the recognition and prevention of verbal abuse in homes, schools and
workplaces. Verbal abuse includes withholding, bullying, defaming, defining, trivializing, harassing,
interrogating, accusing, blaming, blocking, countering, diverting, lying, berating, taunting, putting down,
edifying, discounting, threatening, name-calling, yelling and raging.

NATIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE HOTLINE:   
At the National Domestic Violence Hotline… We believe that every caller deserves to be treated with
dignity and respect. We believe that every family deserves to live in a world free from violence. We believe
that safe homes and safe families are the foundation of a safe society.   Until the violence stops, the
hotline will continue to answer…One Call at a Time. Help is available to callers 24 hours a day, 365 days a
year. Hotline advocates are available for victims and anyone calling on their behalf to provide crisis
intervention, safety planning, information and referrals to agencies in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.
S. Virgin Islands. Assistance is available in English and Spanish with access to more than 140 languages
through interpreter services. If you or someone you know is frightened about something in your
relationship, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or TTY 1-800-

NARCISSISTIC ABUSE RECOVERY: A FORUM FOR SURVIVORS OF A
RELATIONSHIP WITH A NARCISSIST OR PSYCHOPATH   
If you have been in a chosen or unchosen relationship with a narcissist or psychopath, this site will
provide a learning and support environment of compassionate understanding, where we help each other
learn, adjust, heal and ultimately reclaim our lives and peace of mind. Please join us on the message
board whenever you feel comfortable. This site will give you an understanding of what
Narcissists/Psychopaths are and how they affect our lives, and help you know you are NOT ALONE, help
you laugh when you are feeling down, help you cry when something hits home. Give you a place to share
your story, feedback, validation, coping and recovery resources. People have said that 2 weeks on a
support forum has helped them more than months of therapy. If you have never been on a discussion
forum before, we think you'll like it. We can get support from members while we're wearing our old
bathrobe and our members find sharing stories becomes a lifeline as we become important friends for
each other.
During my journey, I have grown by working on myself and following my dreams.....using some of the
organizations and/or authors below.  The following links are provided as informational examples based on my
experiences.
