General

Online Writing Labs
A huge list of links.

Visual Thesaurus
An online visual thesaurus.

Allen & Unwin - The Writing Centre
This page is quite good. It is especially impressive given that it is constructed from extracts of U&A books. Well worth a visit.

Fiction

Fiction Factor Magazine
If you are willing to sift through the ads to find the content, this site is actually pretty good. There are a few nice articles here.

virtuaLit Fiction
This essay on the elements of fiction is okay, if a little safe. A good crash course, but it may leave an experienced writer a little dry. This site also has a tutorial on poetry, but I haven't read it.

Non-Fiction

Non fiction writing
These tips are a little bit simple for my tastes, but they're all I could find in my bookmarks on non-fiction, so, unfortunately, they're going up. This link will most likely be removed as our links section grows.

Poetry

Poetry Forms and Terminology
An exhaustive list of poetry forms and terms with links to articles on each one.

Poets Union Inc.
While the web-design of this site gives me a headache, it's got a huge amount of information. Alongside some great resources, Poets Union Inc. also organise poetry tours around regional NSW, and have an exhaustive list of the poetry events held in Australia.

A few decent articles on screenwriting style and format.
