Thanks for the great link. The one about BookTok sound especially interesting.
It’s an interesting link! Thanks for coming by, Natalie. :)
These are terrific links, as ever, Elizabeth. I noticed there was one about Rushdie moving to Substack. I’ve heard of Substack, and I know a few people who publish there. I’m always hesitant to try a new place to publish, just because I don’t want to spread myself too thin. And there are always new publishing options, so it can be hard to keep up! On the other hand, it’s always good to know what’s out there.
I’ve heard good things about Substack, too, especially in terms of being a competitor of Medium. :)
Thanks for including Colleen’s article at the IWSG!
Another great post from the IWSG!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great list. Amazing work on your part!
Thanks so much, Gwen!
