LitLinks

LitLinks are fed into the Writer’s Knowledge Base search engine (developed by writer and software engineer Mike Fleming) which has over 70,000 free articles on writing related topics. It’s the search engine for writers. While you’re there, check out the Writer’s Digest award-winning Hiveword novel organizer.
Have you visited the WKB lately? Check out the new redesign where you can browse by category, and sign up for free writing articles, on topics you choose, delivered to your email inbox! Sign up for the Hiveword newsletter here. Follow the WKB on Facebook here.
Just a quick heads-up…I haven’t been able to log into Twitter/X for almost two weeks now. X support has a ticket open, but they haven’t responded back since July 5. Sorry I haven’t been able to do my usual thing there! You can find me on Threads (elizabethspanncraig) , as well as Facebook.
