The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
As always, Elizabeth, you've put together some really helpful links! I really like the title of the one in your 'promo' section: <i>Doing Stuff Works</i>. It reminded me that there are a lot of things we can do – and many of them are free or at a very low cost – for promo. Even something as simple as telling someone you meet at the library that you're an author can spark interest in your work.
So very true! I think often, when writers think about promo, we’re thinking about ad campaigns and costly ways of getting the word out. There are other methods that are just as effective. :)
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great list. All the best to you!
The same to you, Gwen!
Another wonderful selection of links. Thank you for sharing them, Elizabeth.
Thanks for coming by, Staci!
