Contrary to what you might think, few writers truly work alone. Behind them is a mass of editors, agents, professional organizations and research contacts whose proper utilization can make the author's life a good deal more pleasant and considerably more successful. The world wide web offers an entirely new and richly diverse venue for the exchange of ideas and the gathering of background information that can help any story come to life. These pages are dedicated to them.

All the sites presented here are free sites, although some have sponsors upon which they depend. May we humbly suggest that you take the time to visit these sponsor sites, to help advance the notion of a free internet.

Allegory does not, however, run these sites and offers no guarantee as to their usefulness or validity. We do our best to review all our links, but should you come across one that, for whatever reason, is no longer available, we would appreciate your sending us a quick email at links@allegoryezine.com to let us know.

Enjoy these sites. We hope the information and/or services that they provide prove useful.
