The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Thanks, Elizabeth, for the links, as ever. I always enjoy from my Sunday course in Writing 101. :-) – Some interesting bits on promo this time, for wchich I’m grateful. I think that’s the one thing I struggle with the most.
I think most of us do! Hope you have a great week, Margot.
The very first one caught my eye this week as we market to libraries far more than bookstores.
Happy Easter!
It’s a good one!
Happy Easter, Diane. :)
Thanks for including Pat’s post at the IWSG. It was a really unique and helpful one.
I thought so too, Alex! Very thoughtful.
