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.
Hey Heather, another great roundup this month. And thanks so much for including my post on musical inspiration!
I particularly enjoyed the Write to Done article on rekindling your love of writing, and was delighted to discover at the bottom of the page that it was authored by longtime WU commenter Marcy McKay. Great job, Marcy! And great job, as always, Heather and the WU Twitter Team!
Thanks for another great roundup, Heather (and Denise and Rebeca, too!)!
