About The Girls Around The Web

Here's a round-up of some of the posts I've read over the last couple of weeks that fit into the question of "what about the girls?" Some have been sent to me and others came up in my own daily reading. I've also included a post I cowrote with Preeti Chhibber at Book Riot at the end, which gives practical things you can do to promote female writers you love, be they published authors or budding creators.



If you've written something that fits recently, feel free to link to it in the comments. I'm staying away from linking to reviews, but any thoughtful commentary, round-up, or responses are totally worth a share here. I'll let these do the talking for themselves:
