Thanks for including the IWSG article this week.
Another great IWSG piece!
As always, Elizabeth, a helpful set of links! I’m going to have to start paying more attention to the business and marketing ones, because I’m hoping to have my WIP ready to go early next year. I have to say, though, that marketing is NOT tops on my ‘Why I love to write’ list…
That’s great news about your WIP! So excited for you. And I feel the same way about promo!
Lots of great links – I find people like Nathan Bransford (& there are a few more on this list) can often break down big picture things in such a simple way!
He’s been in the industry a while and that really does help. Thanks for coming by, Jemi!
