I am going to get started on finally writing that novel that has been seemingly crafting itself in the back of my mind for years, now.
I am looking for some correspondence with professional, published writers who might be bale to give me some hints and pointers as I go along, chapter by chapter. Only the serious need apply.
Spell checkers also welcomed.
To the best of knowledge, they don't do that. And I know a few authors (mostly Sci-Fi).
My advice: find a writer's group. Or try one of these links. They are oriented toward SF/F, though. You might want to try your own search.

I suggest that you avoid writer workshops. Avoid "how to write" books. And avoid seminars. Write the book you want to write, then think about selling it.
