This collection of Illinois writer’s groups and resources is for freelancers living in the Land of Lincoln, and we’d love to include your group or resource–please let us know if your group would like to be featured here.
We might be crazy for launching this very ambitious project, but we’re dedicated to cataloging the current resources for freelance writers living in Illinois. How comprehensive can we be? Keep watching this space as we compile our list of Illinois resources for freelance writers.
