Writers helping writers

In a recent Publisher’s Weekly article, the notion of writers reviewing one another’s books, or supporting each other was dealt with as a negative thing. So when the good folks at Murder by 4 asked me to do a guest blog, I knew I had to write a counter piece on the value of writers supporting one another. The crux of the blog is that “without the support and community of like-minded authors, there’s simply no way to get one’s foot in that tiny crack of the promotional door. The more we help others, the more we help ourselves.” Why not drop by and have a read, and leave your own comments. A good literary debate is, of course, always welcome. Also don’t miss The Compulsive Reader Talks upcoming interview with poet Basil Eliades. Basil is a true renaissance man who crosses all artistic lines with his painting/poetry/music and producing something quite new and exuberant. You can set yourself an automatic reminder in whatever timezone you’re in at the site. All the best. Maggie
