Thanks, as always, for these great links Elizabeth. I always learn so much. This time, I especially noticed the one about 'authorsplaining.' I hadn't thought about it but it really does happen. Readers do not want to be condescended to, and authors need to think about how they give information and how it may come across to readers. Hmm…..worth considering!
I hadn’t heard the term before, and it made me smile. :) Something to avoid, for sure!
