Summary

Misc.writing is a community of writers and people with an interest in writing who use Usenet to share their own writing, ask for critiques of their writing, offer advice on getting published, discuss writing techniques, and post websites and articles of interest to the writing community. The misc.writing newsgroup has compiled a suggested reading list which focuses on quality books on writing, the writing industry, writing magazines, and market reports.
