I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving break, Elizabeth! You deserve it! Thanks, as ever, for these links. I’ve heard a lot about BookBub, but haven’t explored it yet. I appreciate the push in that direction. It’s always good to know what’s out there and what one’s options are.
Hope you do, too, Margot! Take a look at BookBub…at least sign up there as an author because they will announce your releases for free to your subscribers. :)
Thanks for including Pat’s post at the IWSG. That was one of his best!
A great post from Pat!
Thanks for another great list, Elizabeth. Happy Thanksgiving to you!
