Carolyn Howard-Johnson shares writers’ resources on her award-winning blog Sharing with Writers

….Found in my mailbox so this comes to you with a HT [initialism for "Hat Tip" among professionals!] to both Winning Writers and Ingram Spark. This course seems to be available to any writer looking to start a new publishing career or learn even more about the one they’re already knee-deep in! Yes, I borrowed it. [That “HT” might also mean “Heard Through.” I haven’t taken the course myself, but if you do, I’d welcome a review to post on my The New Book Review blog, with your byline and a nice creditline and links about your own books or current author-related project! Find the submission guidelines in the tags near the top of the home page at https://thenewbookreview.blogspot.com.

Your SharingwithWriters blogger, Carolyn
