Kimberly Ripley is the host of the site. She has great information about freelancing later in life. It is worth your while to subscribe to her online newsletter too. By the way, she wrote a story that has been accepted for boomerwomenspeak!

Also, another great site is,
www.naww.org. This is the site for the National Association of Women Writers. I have found the founder and members to be extremely encouraging and supportive! I am a proud member of this association.
