It's great to be recognized with so many other great sites for the second year in a row.
I have some plans to grow the blog even more over this year and will be introducing some new features in the coming months.
I'm very honoured to be the first ever to get the Inspiring The Writers Of Tomorrow Blog Award "for being an exemplary place for other writers to visit for how to advice, inspiration, and/or help with their craft. Thank you for your service to the reading and writing world and all your fellow writers and authors!"
As per the rules I'm now nominating the following site for this award:
This is a fantastic site run by Author Karen Cioffi and includes a huge amount of valuable information, tips and advice for both new writers and accomplished authors as well as offering a platform to help authors promote themselves and their books.
And to Max out my Karma Points...
5 little known facts about me:
- I came to Rome (Italy) for 3 days back in 2001 and ended up staying.
- I'm a complete chocoholic.
- I'm a full-time mummy to my 2 lovely sons, Matteo (4 yrs) and Lorenzo (1 yr).
- I've been a huge Winnie the Pooh fan since I was little.
- I'm celiac.
5 tips for other writers:
- Set goals. They help keep you focussed.
- Get excited about your writing and marketing. It'll carry across in your work.
- Take risks. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. You might just find that you're well suited to it and gain some new fans.
- When marketing try not to go in for the hard sell. Instead offer a benefit or useful information that in some way connects to your book.
- Don't under value yourself.
And finally a big thank to Virginia Jennings for nominating me for this award.
