    How to write faster – I need that one.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigMarch 8, 2015

      Alex– :) Hope you have a good week!

  2. Margot KinbergMarch 8, 2015

    Elizabeth – So many good links here about promo and marketing. It’s very hard I think for authors to do that sometimes. It requires a different kind of thinking, and a lot of authors (myself included) don’t like to ‘toot our own horns.’ But selling books does involve doing promo, and we need to learn how to do that effectively.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigMarch 8, 2015

      Margot–And there are definitely some effective ways to promote…really just by getting our name out there.

  3. Janalyn VoigtMarch 12, 2015

    Elizabeth, thanks for including a link to my post on avoiding the 2nd book slump. This whole list is awesome!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigMarch 13, 2015

      Janalyn–Great post! Happy to share it.
