@LisaCron's book called "Wired for Story" inspired me to write this first-person essay for @readerVeiws blog instead of my usual how-to article for writers. But it's also a kind of "promotion plan." @WiseOwlFactory @mhistorypress https://t.co/9qNiPV3dqA

“When authors try to substitute the word “title” with “entitled,” they are sure to make some editor—some influencer—groan.” That’s one of my #TheFrugalBookPromoterTips and I expound on it in my regular column on @DawnWilson’s SPARREW newsletter that appears later in July’25!
