Sanderson raised that much? Yeah, I can get why some people are upset.
It’s nutty, isn’t it?
Thanks, Elizabeth, for putting these links together. I’m glad to see there were a few on querying. For me, the hardest part about writing is selling it, whether it’s querying, promo, or something else. I do need to get better at that, and it’s good to have ideas for doing it.
Copywriting is tough, isn’t it? A whole different type of writing!
Thank you for another great list, Elizabeth. I will enjoy going through it today. All the best!
Hope you found some good links!
