      Thanks, Alex!

  2. Margot KinbergSeptember 13, 2015

    Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth. These are great links. I like that there are several on really creating the kind of story that’s polished and ready for publishers.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigSeptember 13, 2015

      Margot–It seems like now we have a better chance at trad pub if our work is clean and ready to go. Hope you have a great week!

  3. L. Diane WolfeSeptember 13, 2015

    I pretty much ignore my author page on Facebook anyway. I never could figure out how to make it work for me.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigSeptember 14, 2015

      Diane–I’m in the same boat!

  4. Colleen M. StorySeptember 16, 2015
