Here are some links some may find helpful:

Writer's Market dot com, no need to buy the annual edition, as it's all online. You can pay a monthly fee of $2.99 or an annual one of $29.99 for full access which includes your own Submissions Tracker, files for favourites, etc. Well worth it, imo.

Top 101 Independent Book Publishers with LOTS of additional info and links

Funds for Writers sends out a weekly email of all kinds of funding sources

For journalists and marketing: Newslink lists newspapers, magazine, radio, etc. around the world

Writer's Digest dot com

Editor & Publisher

Natinal Assoc. of Women Writers (I haven't had time to explore this, but it looks interesting)

Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios is a terrific place for writers, screenwriters, composers, musicians, etc. For writing groups it is one of the best as there is a large number of people involved, so one gets really good and varied reviews. If I remember right, for every one story you submit, you have to review 5, or it may be 10. When you have done those, you get to read the reviews of yours, plus when you submit your story it is at the top of the pile as a new submission. Lots to explore and do at this site.

Some of the info may be a little out of date at this site, but it is still an interesting read about the future of non-conventional book publishing, with links: The Once and Future Book

If you are writing fantasy and building a new world, this is an incredibly helpful site P.C. Wrede's World Builder Questions

and, AuthorLink: about Writers, Writing,Editors, Literary Agents...
