    Elizabeth – As always, these are great – thanks! And they’re so varied, too, which is helpful. The query-letter post, the ‘inexpensive launch party’ post and the one about creating more realistic dialogue are all of special interest to me.

  2. Clarissa DraperApril 14, 2013

    Thanks so much for these!

  3. Alex J. CavanaughApril 14, 2013

    Definitely checking out the John Cleese one!

  4. S ChippendaleApril 15, 2013
