Twitterific

by Elizabeth S. Craig, @elizabethscraig

Twitterific is a compilation of all the writing links I shared the previous week.

The links are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming ) which has over 17,000 free articles on writing-related topics. Sign up for our free newsletter for monthly writing tips and interviews with top contributors to the WKB or like us on Facebook .

I have a link of my own this week—I was surprised by a Washington Post mention. A pleasant surprise in a few ways, since the Post doesn’t usually focus on cozy mysteries. And it gave me some more books to put on my TBR list. :)

Have a great week!
