The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Great selection as usual!
Thanks, Alex!
So many great links this time, Elizabeth! You always do find the most interesting articles. The one that got my attention this time was the one about making a book trailer. I’ve done them, and they’re fun to do! But I’m not really sure just how much they boost sales. What I do like about book trailers is that they’re not hard to put together, so even they don’t make that much difference in sales, it’s not a huge investment of time and energy.
It’s always nice to have promo that doesn’t take a lot of time and money! Thanks for the tip, Margot. :)
Another great list! Thank you, Elizabeth, for the shares.
Hope you have a great week, Gwen!
