I found some new writing sites to add to the IWSG page last week from your list.
Oh good! That’s a great page the IWSG has…such good resources there.
Thanks, Elizabeth, as ever, for the links. The one about promoting one’s backlist caught my eye this time. It’s not something I think about often, but perhaps I should…
I thought the same thing…I’m thinking I may tinker with ads later this year (I keep putting it off…)
