Five Links Friday 12/23/16

December 23, 2016 By: Jason Bougger

The Best Articles I Read About Writing This WeekAre you ready for Christmas? If your answer is “I was born ready,” then you’re a better man than I. Either way, take a break from the festivities and check out this week’s edition of Five Links Friday!

1. Let’s star with an older, but very relevant post from a few years ago by Leigh Michaels with some tips on writing better dialogue and Spotlighting the Speaker.

2. Here’s A Great Big Guide to Wonderful Books of 2016 from 100+ Indie Presses from Book Riot. Support the smaller publishers!

3. Know an author you like? Here are 51 Ways to Help a Book Author You Love by John Kremer at Book Marketing Bestsellers. Thanks in advance, lol.

4. I firmly believe it’s important to make lots of writing friends. Here is an article from Almost Press on that very topic.

5. And finally, here is a great Writer’s Wish List from Flynn Gray.

And that’s it for the week. Have a great holiday weekend and start getting those New Year’s goals ready.
