As writers, it's easy to feel isolated from the world as we sit at our computers for hours on end.
​
People without the writing bug struggle to understand what we're about, so it's important to connect with like-minded people.
​
One way to do this, is attend writer's workshops, conferences and meetings or join a writer's group.
​
Another way is to subscribe to industry newsletters where others share their hints and tips about writing. Publishing information and competitions details are often listed in these too.
