Twitterific Writing Links

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific writing links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 65,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers. While you're there, check out the Writer's Digest award-winning Hiveword novel organizer.

Have you visited the WKB lately?  Check out the new redesign where you can browse by category, and sign up for free writing articles, on topics you choose, delivered to your email inbox!  Sign up for the Hiveword newsletter here.

New Stuff:

 Escape the Plot Forest:  An online event all about plotting, storytelling, and creating a great experience for your readers. Every year, about 3,000 writers from all over the world come together for four days of great interviews and presentations – and you can watch the whole summit live, for free. I'm going to be speaking at the summit about all the ingredients of a cozy mystery on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 10:00 a.m. ET.  Check out the event here (please note this is an affiliate link).
