That's lots of readers, writers, and yes, bookstores, and writing groups, clubs, conference, etc. I recommend authors check out Meetup.com, a site designed for creating in-person meetings. My husband and I run a few. Here's one: http://www.meetup.com/Bestselling-Author-Network/ Anyone can join, even if they're not local.<br /><br />Tonya, I saw your post listed in the FB's Writing Kindle Books and so am just getting to know you! I see we do similar work. So cool! Love your energy and your clear mission!Beth Baranyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09292616364842442812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-77035200912138675152012-02-29T10:06:41.647-05:002012-02-29T10:06:41.647-05:00Excellent advice, but hard for those die hard intr...Excellent advice, but hard for those die hard introverts. However, there's nothing like being around other writers to help you learn your craft, as well as how to promote! BTW, Tonya, is there a way you could bottle some of your enegy and give it to me;)?Maria McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138614172014005449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5443047332769568071.post-26098586087106312532012-02-29T09:45:18.408-05:002012-02-29T09:45:18.408-05:00Just last night I visited the Apex Literary Guild....Just last night I visited the Apex Literary Guild. Never heard of Apex? It's a small town sandwiched between other small towns. A handful of writers gets together at a coffeehouse, drinks java, and talks shop. It's so much fun! :DTamara Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13794264222717307506noreply@blogger.com
