Shannon did a great job with her article on submitting short stories at the IWSG site.
A great post from Shannon!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great list — and thank you for mentioning my post. 😊
Great post, Gwen!
Thank you for the list, Elizabeth. As always a great collection!
Thanks for stopping by, Mae!
Thanks for another great list, Elizabeth.
Thanks! Have a great week, Joan!
As always, Elizabeth, this is a great set of links. This time, I’m especially drawn to the podcast about doing less as a writer and accomplishing more. I think we do have to think about where we put our time and energy (and money), and make sure that we’re investing our resources wisely. There’s only so much time in a day, and so much money available.
We only have so much time! Prioritizing really can help.
Thank you for the links, Elizabeth.
My pleasure, John!
Another fabulous list of writerly resources, Elizabeth. Thank you for including Story Empire!
Another terrific list, Elizabeth. Thank you.
Thanks, Beem!
Thank for another great list of information posts :)
Hope you have a great week, D.L.!
Another wonderful roundup. Thanks for curating this list, Elizabeth.
Hope you have a great week, Staci!
