As always, Elizabeth, I love these links. It’s great timing that that first link has to do with author events, too. I am hoping that my next Joel Williams novel will come out early next year, and I’m already thinking about events and other promos to consider to lead up to and go with the release. Always good to have expert ideas to help!
Good to hear you have another upcoming release!
Excellent articles! I’m in need of reading about why we shouldn’t feel bad about unfinished projects. :) I need to hear that!
Thanks! I liked that particular article…that’s a perspective that’s rarely heard and very needed. :) Hope you have a great week!
Thank you for the mention – appreciate you!
Thanks for being a good resource for writers!
So many great links! Thanks for including Nicole’s post at my blog :)
It was a great post!
