BeYourArt.com
- A community dedicated to providing practical business advice and resources to artists. Bascially, helping the starving artist not starve.

Additional Resources

New York Foundation for the Arts
- They have a great resource of articles on the business of art, but they also provide grants among other things.

East End Arts Council
- A wonderful organization supporting the arts.

IAM: International Arts Movement
- An organization which inspires artists and creative catalysts to engage the culture that is, and create the world that ought to be.

Forward Motion
- An organization created by Holly Lisle to give advice to writers. I'm really impressed with the depth of information at this site. A great place to if you want to hone your skills as a writer.

Writers Write
- A place where writers can gather information, meet people, and read articles, while finding a web designer for their new author website and more. This is not a very well laid out site, something I'm particularly picky about, but it does the job. Hopefully they'll update soon.

Basilicus
- A Wiki site (sub domain of Wikipedia) dedicated to world building in various genres.

Wikipedia
- A free encyclopedia with a limitless amount of knowledge. A great resource for any artist.

Constructed Languages (Wikipedia)
- A quick jump for you if you like self created languages in your books.

Medieval Names Archive
- If you're a fantasy writer like me, then it's not a bad idea to look at historic names of the time period in which you endeavor.

Medieval History
- Believe it or not, most fantasy books are historical novels with fantastical elements. Consequently, knowing your history helps. This is a great site, but half of the links are dead. Nonethelesss, it is huge and still worth the digging.

Grants.gov
- Have you ever wondered where your favorite author got his/her National Endowment for the Arts? Well this is it. It is a government listing of grants of every kind, no matter what kind of artist, organization, or business you are. Artists have to get paid, why not by the government.
