Writing Forums I've found helpful:
Absolute Write Water Cooler - Lots of information to learn about publishers, agents, query writing, and the craft of writing itself.
Forward Motion Writers - Home of the Merry Go Round Blog Tour
Question about an agent or publisher? Check here: Writer's Beware and here: Agent Query
Also of interest: Query Shark - For help with getting that query written so it gets past the "meh" stage.
Draft2Digital - A really good one stop shop for publication and distribution of self-published works.
