Hey #WritingCommnunity , what are some good e-incentives you provide to readers to help get you more reviews? This is for the #selfpublished authors especially. #amwriting #amwritingfiction #BookTwitter

[Author Hend @AuthorHend]

It seems there are fewer #litagents participating in #PitMad than pre-Covid? (And maybe more small publishers??) Anyone else get that impression? What's your experience #writers? #agents?

Choreography, dance and writing...the perfect ingredients for a great women's fiction read!

[Mary Kate Schmermund @marykatewriting]

#Choreography comes easily to Louise. Love, not so much. Pursuing #dance forces her to trust the #writer she’s stuck living with all summer. But when the man she’s wanted for the past decade returns, only Louise can choose the best pas de deux partner #PitMad #A #WF #CR #LF
