What to blog about? That has never been an issue for me.
An intern would be great for an author. Clones work as well.
Alex–I love what you’ve done with your blog. And…I’ve thought about getting an intern many, many times. Any kids out there? I could use help.
Thanks as ever, Elizabeth, for these great links. I see so many related to the ‘business’ side of writing; I think that’s a Sign. Authors need to remember that if you’re going to sell books, you do have to think of it all in business terms.
Margot–Exactly! I’ve got a post related to that, tomorrow. Hope you have a happy week, Margot.
Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for including me in this great list.
Many authors, myself included, are still having to learn about social media and as Margot says, the business side of things. The links here are really useful and many show what to avoid doing, which will save people A LOT of time and effort!
All the best,
Mark.
Mark–I’m with you…always learning. That’s mostly because the business and the social media and publishing itself is always changing (sigh!) Thanks so much for the kind words and for coming by.
