    I’m going to enjoy exploring these with a few cups of coffee! I don’t know how you do it. I had to stop my Twittter Tuesday’s but I referred all my folllowers who loved that post to you!

  2. Margot KinbergOctober 16, 2011

    Elizabeth – Thanks, as ever, for this treasure trove! And thanks for including some of my stuff, too :-)

  3. Alex J. CavanaughOctober 16, 2011

    So much information!

  4. Anne R. AllenOctober 16, 2011

    A great round-up as always. I hope people will also take a look at my post on the conflicting advice we get from agents on the subject of blogging–it’s an overview of Roni’s and Sierra’s posts as well as Rachelle Gardner’s and Meghan Ward’s from last week. Dueling Agent Advice

  5. Victoria MixonOctober 21, 2011

    Thanks for the mentions, Elizabeth! You’re such a great, conscientious resource for writers and so kind to the bloggers you support.

    And I’m all excited about our interview on mysteries that’s going up on Monday. . .every time I read something brilliant in the essays in The Art of the Mystery Story I keep thinking, ‘Oh, Elizabeth would love this!’ :)
