The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for including Stephanie’s piece at the IWSG site on contests.
Another great post from the IWSG!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for putting together these links. I see several really interesting ones, including the one about putting together a newsletter. I keep going back and forth about that one, because I would want to make sure any newsletter I put together wouldn’t just be a repetition of my blog. But I’ve got a novella (hopefully!) coming out later this year, and that might be a time to put together some sort of newsletter. Certainly something to think about…
That’s great news about your novella! A newsletter is a great way to get the word out. You could do different things with your newsletter…interviews, resources for the crime writing community, etc.
Another fantastic list of helpful sites! Thank you, Elizabeth. 😊
So glad you’re finding the links helpful, Gwen!
Thank you for sharing these wonderful links!
Thanks to you for coming by, Joan!
Another list of wonderful links. Thank you.
Thanks, CS! Hope you have a great week. :)
Excellent links, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing. 😁
Thanks, John! 😃

Thanks, D.L! Hope you found some helpful ones.

Thanks so much, Mae Clair!
Thanks for putting together so many great links for us again. It’s good to know how many useful resources there are out there. And you do the work of pulling them all together for us. Thanks.
There’s an amazing number of resources out there! Hope you have a great week!
