Anne Allen’s item looks very helpful; bookmarked it for next year’s reference. Doris Heillman’s is scary–but the link to the top ten seemed better than the three in item. Brigid Gallagher’s article is one I’m not sure I’m ready for–marketing to publishers, libraries, booksellers or agents.

As always, Thank you for compiling and sharing these writer’s tips, Debby. I was mostly drawn to the last post, about getting your self-published book in Publishers Weekly. It looks like it’s worth the $149, based on Brigid’s experience! Have you ever done this, Debby?
Happy weekend!
