The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for including the IWSG post this week.
Another great post from the IWSG!
As usual, Elizabeth, some great links here. There are some good ones this time on those little steps an author can take to get a better handle on the promo and business side of things, and I think that’s great. Sometimes, it only takes a small change or a five-minute investment of time to make a big difference.
It’s so true–breaking up a big task into small, manageable steps really helps!
Thank you – that’s nice to see my article on cons make the list.
Great post, Diane!
