About This Writing Stuff...

This week, Writer Beware warns of the return of the unsavory Albee Agency under a new name.  With Kristen Lamb, Jane Friedman, Beth Bacon, and Joanna Penn, we focus quite a bit on building platform (in advance of publication) and marketing (once your book is on its way to the readers).  David Gaughran compares popular ebook distributor Smashwords to the new Draft2Digital.  In the craft department, Jami Gold wants to get your story moving again while Lorin Oberweger discusses pacing.  All that and a bit more... Enjoy!
