Although I will not be adding a piece this month to the Author Toolbox Blog Hop, I wanted to share the great content produced by my fellow hoppers. Blog hopping is a great way to connect and learn from other writers and bloggers and Raimey Gallant’s Author Toolbox has some amazing people involved. There are articles ranging in topics from craft, editing, marketing, and motivation written and shared each month. I am lucky to have found such a supportive community.
Be sure to check out Twitter every third Wednesday at #AuthorToolboxBlogHop to find other great articles each month. Or if you are interested in joining the hop find out the details at Author Toolbox Blog Hop Home.
