Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 30,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers.
I do have an opportunity for my blog readers this week: a New York area conference, The Work Conference. Attendance is limited to 30 writers because the conference provides access to industry-leading agents and publishers in a small group setting (attendees query first for acceptance to the conference). Those who aren’t accepted still get feedback on their proposal. There is a fee for the application, but my readers are offered a $10 discount: $40 instead of $50. That link is here.

Thanks, as always, for these great links, Elizabeth. Lots of terrific ones about using social media this time, and I think that’s great. There’ s so much social media out there that it’s hard to choose which outlets to use, and to focus your efforts.
Margot–So true…if we stretch ourselves too thin on social media, it’s so easy to burn out.
Thanks for including the one Lynda did for the IWSG site.
And we are set to go for 5:00 am Eastern tomorrow. Thanks again.
Alex–Great! I’ll direct folks over tomorrow a.m. :)
I’m late, which seems to be the norm lately. Excellent links, as usual. You really have a talent for finding exactly what I need.
Sue–Glad you found some helpful links and thanks for coming by!
Love your new look. Bright and engaging.
Lauren–Thanks so much!
