Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 61,000 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.

Here’s a new book for readers and writers: Book Therapy by Jordi Nadal. An excerpt from the book’s forward:

 

…book therapy must be distinguished from all other kinds of therapy. It does not diagnose, and it cannot promise a cure. Out of the two million books published each year in the world, many have no other ambition than to put the reader to sleep, or to amuse, or to instruct, or to help pass the time which would otherwise be devoted to fighting against boredom. For me, book therapy means the experience of meeting a stranger. A book is an opportunity to have a conversation with a stranger, a silent conversation which may sometimes continue for years. And though some authors who write many books may sometimes be repeating themselves, others may be evolving, expanding their horizons and discovering new hopes, so that each new book may have been written by a slightly different person. Book Therapy is an adventure into the unknown. ~Theodore Zeldin, Oxford, March 2021

This a non-profit venture, and royalties from the book are being donated to Give A Book  a charity that ‘promotes the pleasure of reading in the hardest places’, working mostly with prisons and disadvantaged children.
