The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
These are, as always, great links, Elizabeth! And I don't say often enough how helpful the WKB is. There's so much there to turn back to when you need some good advice. This time I especially noticed the article about seeing agents, editors, and so on as partners. I think that teamwork approach not only improves one's writing, but it also gives the author some confidence. As an author, you're not just subject to the whims of a publisher, agent, or editor. You're a partner, and that, to me, is more empowering, if that makes sense.
Thanks for the kind words, Margot! Mike does an awesome job with the WKB.
Teamwork is an essential part of writing!
