Web sites for writers and editors

Check it out: You might look into Funds for Writers, which specializes in grants for writers.

Editorial group: If you're a writer, editor or general freelancer, you might check out my Freelance Writers and Editors group on Yahoo.

ACES blog: I'm a member of ACES, the American Copy Editors Society, and you might check out Charles Apple's blog.

If you've been a newspaper copy editor, you might check out The Slot: A Spot for Copy Editors on Facebook.

There's also the American Copy Editors Society (ACES) on Facebook.

And don't forget Testy Copy Editors, also on Facebook.

Any suggestions for other sites?

Haggis, anyone?

Fans of poetry in general and Robert Burns in particular might want to check out today's N.Y. Times short editorial on Burns' birthday and celebrations. I have Scottish ancestry, but I suspect my wife and I will pass up haggis this evening and have fish and chips instead.
