March Roundup: Hot Tweetables at #WU
By Heather Webb | March 29, 2014 |
As March comes to a close, I think those of us in northern climes have found ourselves singing Let it freaking go, Elsa! We’re done with winter! But much writerly goodness happens when it’s cold outside. This month we’ve seen publishers engage directly with consumers, women’s issues become popular topics in novels worldwide, and the rise of crowd-funded bookish projects, including a bar and bookstore. Of course, there’s so much more. Take a look at this month’s top tweets:

Heather Webb is the USA Today bestselling and award-winning author of historical fiction. As a freelance editor and an adjunct in a MFA in Creative Writing program, Heather has helped many writers sign with agents and go on to sell at market. When not writing, she feeds her cookbook addiction, geeks out on history and pop culture, and looks for excuses to head to the other side of the world. To date, her books have been translated to seventeen languages.
Getting to this a day late, but just wanted to thank you, Heather. Always a pleasure to wander through your links. And I really appreciate the Twitter Team’s links each day (they come to FB via the Mod Squad profile). And what do you know? Another agent who accepts high fantasy. Wonders never cease. ;-) Have a great weekend!
