The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for mentioning the IWSG article!
I’m trying to catch up after another couple of crazy weeks, ha. Great article, as always, from the IWSG!
This time, Elizabeth, I noticed the link about more scrutiny in the self-publishing arena. In many ways I think that’s a good thing. There are a lot of unscrupulous people and companies who take advantage of unwary authors. That’s why I think it’s so important that writers keep updated on what’s going on in the writing world. That’s one reason your Twitterific posts are so helpful.
I really hate hearing about the scam artists out there targeting writers, but it’s so important to be aware of. Thanks so much to you for coming by!
