Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 57,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers. While you’re there, check out the Writer’s Digest award-winning Hiveword novel organizer.

Merry Christmas to you too, Alex!
Another great list. Thank you!
Have a great week, Gwen!
Thanks for the links, Elizabeth. There’s always something to learn from your Twitterific posts! I’m glad to see some things happening in the publishing field. We’ve had such a dire year that I’m glad to see some publishers are finding ways to make the most of everything and thrive.
I think publishers came out pretty well this year! Happy holidays to you, Margot!
