Careers: Writing - Sources


Expert: Cathy Clamp - 8/4/2009

Question
I am somewhat new to the internet as a tool for doing research for my writing.  My question is what are some good websites for doing research and finding information.  Information such as statistics, studies, etc., used in writing articles so as to flesh out and/or reinforce the content.  

Thank you in advance for your consideration.  

Ron

Answer
Hi, Ron!

I saw your question in the pool and thought I'd help, but don't know what sort of sources you need. Do you write fiction or non-fiction? What genre/category? Or is it sources about writing in general that you're looking for? A little more info and I might be able to help. :)

Cathy
