How to Turn a Classroom Into A Tea Parlor – #BuildingLocalReadership | The Write Stuff

Today I’m reblogging a post from The Write Stuff, by author/blogger Marcia Meara. Marcia is a feisty go-getter in all senses of the word. She is a wonderful writer, but besides her wonderful books, Marcia is a great sharer in the blogging community. Her site offers authors and writers an opportunity to post reviews, blog shares, and interesting articles pertaining to writing. Marcia also posts articles to share helpful information with other writers in her great efforts to support others.

Jeanne and Doug started it by promoting my book on their Eco Tour boat cruises.
