Thanks for including Reedsy’s post at the IWSG this past week!
It was a great guest post!
This is a great set of links, as ever, Elizabeth. I love it that you have so many on reading as a writer. I think that’s the one thing that helps any writer improve: reading. A lot. And really reflecting on how what we read is put together.
And I’m always on the lookout for the next book on my TBR list! I really appreciate those kinds of articles.
I’m going to read the best book reviews list now, just in case there are some I’ve missed.
Dave Chesson always comes up with good resources.
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for compiling these great resources every week! We noticed that you included a post from the BW blog by Penny Sansevieri, “9 Book Marketing Tips Even Introverts Can Use”. Can you also tag @BookWorksNYC to that article? The BW blog team has some of the savviest experts in the biz, like Penny, Dave Chesson, and Joel Friedlander, all sharing content specifically for indie authors. Thanks again!
I’ve updated that for you…thanks for being a resource for writers.
