    Oh I love these kinds of posts! Although I’m no being diverted from my original purpose to investigate. :)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJune 22, 2014

      Shah–Thanks! And, yes, these types of posts are the ultimate distractions…ha!

  2. Margot KinbergJune 22, 2014

    Elizabeth – Such a great group of links, as always. I’ve got my eye on a couple of these articles, actually, because of my WIP. And I am interested in doing a podcast, so that will help me too.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJune 22, 2014

      Margot–With your background in radio, a podcast makes a lot of sense for you!

  3. Alex J. CavanaughJune 22, 2014

    A marketing buddy system – I know authors who’ve done that with great success.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJune 22, 2014

      Alex–I’ve heard some similar stories. Sounds like a great plan. And these buddy systems are to help writers break into a foreign market…so taking it one step farther.

  4. K.B. OwenJune 22, 2014

    Another fab list, Elizabeth – thanks so much! I’ve bookmarked a ton of them, especially the marketing/promo stuff, which I kinda stink at. ;)

  5. Julie MusilJune 22, 2014

    Oh wow, I’m going to be here for a while. Such great subjects. Thanks, Elizabeth!
