Another great collection of articles!
Thanks, Alex!
As always, Elizabeth, thanks for these great links. I’m glad to see some good ones on promo. It’s one thing I really ought to be doing better than I do. It’s so hard to find that balance between promoting oneself regularly, and, well, being obnoxious about it.
It sure is! But you do a great job with your online presence, which is the most important thing.
I keep a close watch on what happens in the UK now that I have an author in the Republic of Ireland.
And there’s a good deal of upheaval there now, in the industry…definitely something to watch.
Thank you for compiling these helpful lists, Elizabeth. I like to catch up on reading I may have missed and it’s always gratifying to see BookWorks content make the cut. FYI, this post was for our blog: Your Target Reader: Identifying and Making the Connection: @SmartAuthors (@BookWorksNYC) as well.
Have a great week!…Christi@BookWorks.com
Thanks, Christi! And thanks for the tip!
