Another great batch of tips!
Thanks, Alex!
Thanks as always, Elizabeth, for these great links. I’m glad to see a few on revisions this time. It’s funny how most authors know they have to do revisions. But it’s harder to pin down sometimes exactly how to go about it.
It can be a challenge, for sure!
Thanks for the kind mention!
Thanks for being a resource for writers!
