Have you read our award winning (self) publishing blog?

Our author advice blog isn't another run-of-the-mill writing blog, built for search engines and not people. We spend hundreds of hours a month writing and publishing thousands of words of useful and actionable advice. Hundreds of thousands of traditionally published and independently published authors rely on us to provide the best advice without any fluff. That's why we've been awarded The Write Life's Best 100 Websites for Writers Award.
