Blog Tour: Review at Shoe's Seeds & Stories 🌟

So pleased to have a review of my book, From Promising to Published, at Shoe’s Seeds & Stories.

An excerpt of the review: “I’ve read many writing craft books over the years. What I like about this writing craft book is that besides many helpful chapters on topics such as writing your biography and whether to simultaneously submit, there are also unique chapters on areas of my writing life that I would have never thought about. It’s like talking to your writing bestie who tells you the tiny details that other people forget or don’t think are important.”

Please catch the rest at: Shoe’s Seeds & Stories. Also, check out Linda Schueler’s awesome books and Twitter. Many thanks, Linda! 📝👍

Blog Tour: Review at World of My Imagination🌟

A complete joy to have my book reviewed today at World of my Imagination.🤩

An excerpt from the review: “One of my absolute favorite chapters was the art of writing the author bio. This is a process that I’ve had such a hard time with and Melanie gave such great tips on crafting a memorable one (that doesn’t just read like a resume).

Overall, there are so many helpful aspects of this book! It’s inspiring and keeps you moving forward to grow your writing career.”

Many thanks to the talented Nicole Pyles! If you’re an author who is interested in publicizing your book with a friendly, supportive, and well-connected literary professional, I highly recommend working with Nicole and WOW! 📚
