Taking a hint from a few of my favorite blogs, I’ve decided to post a weekly round-up of online writing tips, publishing news and other useful links I’ve come across during last week. You can expect this every Friday.
What have I got for you this week?
- Novelist Jane Kennedy Sutton describes A Writer’s Most Valuable Assets. I like #7.
- Penelope Trunk: She thinks good grammar is over-rated.
- Literary agent Rachelle Gardner explains on Editor Unleashed the #1 mistake writers make when querying her.
- Joanna Penn asks, Is Amazon Encore a publishing game-changer?
- Just because it makes me laugh out loud: The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks.
Looking for other weekly round-ups? Try blogs by literary agent Nathan Bransford, and writers Ami Spencer and Elle Parker.

Quotation Marks. Hurts to read it, as I’m “guilty” of this.
Anyway, one of my favorites is… “I love that the Jellyfish Yo-Yos are totally vernacular, but “hackey” sacks is a slang term that requires separation.”

Nice collection of stuff – and thank you for the mention. I love the Blog of Unnecessary Quotation Marks.

Thanks for the links. I never catch all the good stuff that’s out there, which is why I started my own link lists. I figured if I felt like I was missing out on really great content then there must be others out there who felt the same way. 🙂
(And thanks for the shout out!)
That’s a good way to round up the week. Thanks. How about put in what to expect for next week too?
In Quest of Theta Magic
Thanks. That’s a useful post for many of us who love to find new good stuff.
