we added a Resources section! Linking to the fantastic lists/databases at @chillsubs @HeavyFeatherRev @driftwoodpress @Duotrope @newpages -- because we know submitting is a lot of work, and maybe this will help writers find just the right place (whether or not it's us!)...

Gonna link the real news stories that inspired me:
