The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Lit Links: Share on X
Thanks for including our IWSG post this week. It was fun putting it together with the past and present IWSG admins.
It was a great post! Nice compilation.
Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links, as ever. It's interesting that there are a few on genre this time. In some ways, labelling books as one genre or another can be really helpful for placement, for finding an audience, and so on. But it can be limiting, too. I suppose as, with everything else, it's a balance.
It can be tricky, for sure! Genre-mixing is fun, but it can be harder to find your readers. And changing genres, as a writer, can be tricky, too.
Thank you for another great list, Elizabeth. I learn a lot through your posts. And thank you for including one of my posts. Most appreciated. 😊
Great post, Gwen!
Hi Elizabeth – great summary – thank you. I haven't had need of it – but with a few changes going on here I'm sure I'll be over to check out a few things and great to see the IWSG post … I keep an eye on those – always supportive with lots of useful information in them.
You provide us with important updates on publishing/authorly/blogging life … so good to know it's here. I've just signed up to the Hiveword newsletter … Cheers Hilary
Thanks so much, Hilary! Hope you have a happy week.
