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.
Thanks so much for these!
Definitely checking out the John Cleese one!
Thank you so much for putting these together I always look forward receiving your Twitterific emails.
Wow, what a great list of links and resources for authors! I found several I want to share with my network. Thanks for listing my article about what authors should do about bad reviews on Amazon.
