Great blogs, all! More information than one can possibly digest. Thank you, bloggers, for sharing your expertise so generously!
Also–another favorite self-published author blogger is Elle Lothlorien, best-selling Amazon author, whose funny, witty, and alarmingly prescient commentary on the future of self publishing, e-publishing, pricing, and social media are must reads for any author contemplating entering the self-publishing circus.
Happy reading, all!
