Thanks for including Diane’s post at the IWSG site last week.
It was a great post!
Oh, Elizabeth, this time the very first link you offered got my attention! Writing does require a financial investment, even if one’s working with a traditional publisher. It’s even more so if you self-publish. The question is, what is worth investing in (or even, important to do), and what isn’t? I think about that every time I’m deciding whether to make a purchase or not.
Great point! Writing can be a very expensive endeavor! It’s good to always make a budget and stick with it, especially with things like advertising.
Thank you, I needed some good links to explore today.
Hope you have a great week, Diane!
Thanks for the links. I already clicked on the one about agents accepting queries and have some new agents to spotlight on my blog. Thanks!
That’s great! Hope you have a good week, Natalie. :)
