A great post, Joan!
A great list, Elizabeth!
Thanks so much, Jan!
Great links, Elizabeth. Thanks for featuring Joan Hall too.
So happy to do it…a great piece.
Great list. Thanks for being such a strong supporter of Story Empire.
Thanks for being a resource for writers, CS!
Thank you for anotber great list :)
Hope you have a wonderful week, D.L.!
I always learn so much for these links, Elizabeth – thanks. This time, I especially noticed the one about what to do before advertising a novel. That’s one thing I need work on, actually: preparing better for a release. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes things you can do to boost interest and sales, and I need to get better at that. I’m archiving this one!
I’ve gotten better at advertising in the last year…it can definitely help with moving backlist books and with getting a new release attention. Hope it works for you!
What a great collection of links. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for coming by, Mae!
