It’s always so nice to have these links, Elizabeth – thanks. And I see there are several this time on writers’ conferences and festivals. That’s one part of the writing life that I really need to pay more attention to as I go along. Conferences can be rejuvenating, even for introverts like me…
I haven’t been to one for a while…thinking that should change in 2019!
I think Barnes & Noble needs more than just a turnaround expert.
Life support, perhaps? :)
Your links always prove so useful. These must take so long to compile, and I thank you for the effort!
Thanks so much for this, Roland! I love reading the posts and figure it makes sense to share what I come across. I appreciate your reading them and the blog!
Great links as usual. I’m leaning toward self-pubbing a nonfiction project on dementia so I see several ones to check out!!
Glad there were some resources there for you, Jemi!
