Another great post! Thank you for sharing these helpful links.
Thanks to you for coming by, Gwen!
Thanks again for contributing to the IWSG site last week!
So happy to have a guest post on such a great site!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links. You always find the best ones! I’m glad to see that book fairs and author events are starting to happen again. I think we can learn so much from going to author and book events, and finding out how other writers do what they do. Besides, it’s a good way to connect with readers. I know it’ll take time , but it’s nice to see some signs of life, so to speak.
I’m happy to hear they’re opening up again, too! Delighted to see the slow return to some semblance of normalcy (although I now feel naked without a mask on, so I’m keeping mine on for possibly forever, haha).
Love these posts! Thank you so much.
Thanks to you for coming by, Anne! Have a happy week.
This is quite the roundup, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing the Story Empire link!
Thank you, Jan! Happy to share the link. :)
Another fabulous list!
Thanks so much, Joan!
Thank for all the great links:)
Kind of you to stop by, D.L.! Enjoy your week. :)
Thanks for sharing the article I wrote for Live Write Thrive, Elizabeth! Awesome list! If you’re (or anyone you know is) interested in writing about true life, you can find more author tips and resources on my site BeWrit.com.
Thanks, Brit! I appreciate your coming by and sharing your resource. :)
