    Using data science to create and sell more books? Got to read that one.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigNovember 13, 2016

      Alex–It’s very interesting! Hope you have a good week.

  2. Margot M KinbergNovember 13, 2016

    So many interesting topics this time, Elizabeth! Thanks as ever for gathering these. Funny that there are a few on blurbs: that’s always such a challenge, isn’t it?

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigNovember 13, 2016

      Margot–It sure is! Although cozies tend to run to a particular pattern, which helps me out. Thanks for coming by!

  3. Jemi FraserNovember 13, 2016

    Great list! Seeing as I’ve finally joined FB, I’ll start with that link :)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigNovember 13, 2016

      Jemi–Hope it helps!

  4. Colleen M. StoryNovember 19, 2016

    Thanks, Elizabeth! Loved Emily’s article on “The Gone Girl with the Dragon Tattoo on the Train.” What a great title and very interesting on “Girl” titles. Maybe I need to rethink my WIP… :O)

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigNovember 20, 2016

      Colleen–Wasn’t that great? I read her book, as well: “The Bestseller Code.” Interesting stuff!
