More resources – many of these are affiliate links. I make money from affiliates – but as always the information is free!
This helps those interested in finding a publisher or an agent.
I thoroughly enjoyed your broadcast about publishing today! It touched upon many of the tips I needed as I begin writing a series of homeschool curriculum/workbooks this year! Thank you so much for putting that together, and for all the great listener resources you provide. I try to catch them as often as I can. Best wishes!
Thanks so much, Marie-Claire. As you proceed if you have questions be sure to contact me. I began the journey in 1994 and have enjoyed being part of the homeschool community.
