Thanks for including last week's IWSG post!
Great post from the IWSG!
Great links, as always, Elizabeth! I love the ones about writing for children. It's so important to reach out to kids, so they learn to love reading, and I have a lot of respect for authors who can do that.
It’s the best way to get them interested in reading…do it early!
Lots of good stuff to check out. Thank you!
So happy you found it helpful!
Hi Elizabeth – it's great to see so many IWSG members included here – as resources … and it is an amazing Knowledge Base you've set up for everyone – thank you … cheers Hilary
Thanks for coming by, Hilary!
