Member Sites
As part of our ongoing effort to link writers to writers, and to introduce Coop members to one another, we invite you to submit the link to your personal or professional website. Include a brief blurb about the site, or a personal biography.
The site does not have to be a writer’s site, if yours happens to reflect another of your interests, but please add a note to your blurb or bio about the type of writing you do.
We encourage all writers, editors and publishers to participate. Email the link and blurb or bio to coopinfo@writerscoop.org
