Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing this list of great posts. I look forward to checking them out. All the best to you.
The same to you, Gwen, and thanks!
Another great list!
Thank you, Alex!
Great list. Thanks for featuring my Story Empire post too, Elizabeth. Have a lovely day 🙂
Great post, Harmony!
These are terrific links, as ever, Elizabeth. I always learn every time I come here. The one that caught my eye this time was the guide to pitching a novel for indie authors. I think sometimes we get so close to our work that we forget others haven’t read it. We have to ‘step back’ and tell others why they’ll love it, and that’s hard for introverts like me to do.
It’s *so* hard for me, too! Something I need to work on, for sure.
Thank you for including one of my posts here, and for including Story Empire.
A nice article, CS!
Quite an impressive list of article links. Thanks so much!
Thanks to you for dropping by, Lee!
