What a diverse range of writing tips this week. We have articles on how to get the most out of a writing conference, how to build reader loyalty, a new app that shows writers their writing process, how to keep your WIP organised and 100 sources of free images – just a few of the articles that made it into the top 20 articles this week.
More than writers
I think this range of subjects shows the incredibly diverse roles that writers need to fulfil in this day and age.
Just sitting behind a keyboard and writing doesn’t do it any more – we are writers, marketeers, designers, promoters, speakers, loyalty experts, formatters and so much more.
With such a wide range of responsibilities we need all the advice we can get and luckily we are in a very giving industry where everyone tries to help each other.
How do the articles make it into the top 20?
Every week I go through the internet to find articles to help both myself, and my followers, and I share the best of the bunch with my social media crew.
So this list has been filtered twice to identify the truly useful information – once by myself and then by the responses of my social media followers. The higher the article on the list the greater the response from my followers in terms of clicks, retweets, favourites and 1+’s etc.
So you can be certain that the articles are gold nuggets well worth mining.
As always, grab a drink and maybe some popcorn, and enjoy the amazing articles our writing brethren have shared this week.

You’re welcome but honestly it was my social media followers who got it on the list – so it deserves to be there.
I’m not even a fiction author, but I do appreciate the wealth in writing information you’ve accumulated here. It will take me a while to digest, but I’m sure I’ll pick up some tips to make my own books (you know those inferior nonfiction types) better. Thanks for sharing.
