Have a blessed Easter, Elizabeth!
The same to you, Alex!
As always, Elizabeth, a great set of links! Wouldn’t you know the first one I notice is the one about freelance jobs not to take. That happened to me once. You do have to be careful choosing freelance work.
I can imagine that it would be tough weeding through them to find the right ones!
Hope you have a great week, Margot.
I need to send that one about street teams to some of my authors.
Have a wonderful Easter.
You, too, Diane!
Thanks so much for sharing the link to my series over at The Write Conversation. :D
You’re very welcome!
