Plotline Hotline – I’m going to have to look that one up!
It’s a good site! Some really helpful stuff there.
Thanks as ever, Elizabeth, for these useful links. One in particular – the one about reading drafts aloud – really got my attention. I tell my students to do that (read aloud) all the time, and they often say that it helps them. Nice to see it here, too.
It’s such a helpful editing technique, isn’t it?
I’m certainly going to check out the one on audio book marketing.
Yes, not a lot of info on how to go about that. That post offers an option (especially, as I recall, if you have free codes).
