The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for including the IWSG article.
I’ll be offline tomorrow as well. Have a great Memorial Day.
Same to you, Alex!
As always, these are really helpful links, Elizabeth! This time, the one that caught my eye was the one about attending book fairs. Now that people are starting to do things like that again, I’m trying to plan some cost-effective ways to get myself ‘out there.’ Book fairs are definitely an idea!
Book fairs are definitely an option!
Hope you have a great week. :)
