Fun and instructive. Thank you, Heather Day Gilbert! Thank you, Writers Chat!
Great interview. I write womens fiction, cozy mystery and occasional rom-com shorts. I have come across several Viking authors lately. Although that is not my genre I live in a Viking town in Scotland. We have a yearly week long Viking celebration every year. 😉
Thank you so much for sharing this! Really helpful for sure.
I’m really loving this webinar! I love Agatha Christie too!!! I am working on my first mystery murder novel and loving the cozy mystery theme! I write in first person too 😂
So helpful. So many great tips. Love the address book idea - definitely borrowing that.
very helpful. thank you. Going to check and see if you have done a video on writing with a co-author. If not, that would be one I'd love to hear discussion on.
