Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific is a compilation of all the writing links I shared the previous week.

The links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 16,000 free articles on writing-related topics. Sign up for our free newsletter for monthly writing tips and interviews with top contributors to the WKB & the chance to win “The Emotion Thesaurus.”

It’s almost here! Tuesday is the release day for my latest book and for my friend, Hart Johnson’s debut!

Don’t’ forget the new release blogfest that she and I are hosting on June 5th—find more information and sign up here. The best entries get signed copies of our new releases.

Have a great week!
