These are great links, Elizabeth, as always. It’s always interesting to me how these links sometimes get at the same thing. There’s one this time about why it’s so hard for writers and artists to sell. Then there’s one about snake-oil services to avoid. Little wonder people fall prey to those scams; it isn’t easy to do the marketing/promo/selling thing, so some people turn to a company they think will help them. No wonder the business side of writing is tough…
There is often a common thread in the blog posts, isn’t there? And you’re so right about these scams. Writers have to be so vigilant.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for the great list. I’ve much to learn from these writers. All the best.
Have a great weekend, Gwen!
