I budget a regular amount of time to read other people’s newsletters, download their reader magnets and attend free webinars.

As a member of Behind Our Eyes, the email-based writing group for people with disabilities, I receive information from other writers about resources and opportunities. Clenell Anthony, the author of the romantic thriller Fractured (which I recently completed and please please please if you want to read a fantastic disabled main character read this book. The novel, like most books, has its own imperfections but if you want to get an accurate picture of visual impairment in real life, check this out… but I digress.)

Anyway, Nell posted some free writing craft “books.” (They were mostly reader magnets.) So I read a bunch:

• Pages & Platforms Book Marketing Workbook by Sue Campbell
• The Six-Step Revision Process by Miranda Darrow
• 7 Steps to Starting your Novel by Rebecca L. Fearnley
• Creating A Writing Ritual: Journaling Prompts for Crafting your Ideal Writing Routine and Environment by Megan Fuentes

Now, this list originally included:

• What Writing Fiction Crafts Books Left Out by Lori Puma

BUT, this one was a PDF so it didn’t load into the ereader in a format easy-to-read. It’s 31 pages long, and that’s a lot to read in tiny type on a phone and causes me to ask questions about why an author would distribute a pdf in Bookfunnel instead of doing something that reads like a book in the Bookfunnel app.

It looks like it has a lot of good information, but it was just really hard to see. I thought the author’s name was Leo Flume, for instance.

My Substack newsletter has more details.
