Thanks for including the IWSG article about science fiction books. Wonder what else they will predict?
It was a cool article!
As always, fascinating links here, Elizabeth. Lots of good ones about conferences, too. I have to admit, that’s one thing I should do better than I do – go to writing conferences.
I should, too. :) I only go about once every couple of years.
Great links – going to start with the one on Scrivener. I’ve been using it for years but I know there’s always something else to learn!
There’s a lot to learn with that program, for sure! Hope the article helps. :)
