- Whether you should offer comp titles in a query letter
- Case study on why women write under men’s names
- A solid article on how to market your book
- Writing advice from GRR Martin
- Why Gillian Flynn gets her best writing done after midnight
If you have any questions or comments about these articles, leave a comment and let’s have a conversation.
