The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
As always, Elizabeth, this is such a great collection of links! I'm especially pleased to see several links about children's and YA fiction. So much research supports reading to young children , and regular reading throughout the growing-up years. I think authors need to support that.
I was pleased to see those links, too. Such an important area.
