The top writing links of last week are on Twitterific: Share on X
    1. Alex–Yeah, that’s a somewhat misleading subgenre name, I agree. Apparently, the author writes a memoir and he/she is close to the victim in some way…the illustration in the post was someone who knew Plath and offered insights to her suicide. The post definition: ” investigation is at the crux of any suicide memoir, a subgenre that borrows from both true crime and biography.”

      Dark reading, for sure.

  1. As always, Elizabeth, I really appreciate your gathering so many great links. To be honest, I’ve been thinking for a bit now about whether to go self-pub, although I keep going back and forth on it. You’ve get some terrific links here on aspects of business side of writing, and that helps.

    1. Margot–I’ll post on this soon but…yeah, I have to recommend self-pub over trad-pub. Hope you’ll look into it–so many informative resources on the subject out there to help us out.
