Web links for writers: 16.11.07
It seems to have been a good week for a website launch - and not only the one I wrote about on Tuesday evening.
Following the release of her debut novel, Cover the Mirrors, Faye L. Booth has moved her website, www.fayelbooth.co.uk, to a new server, updated her About page, and added page about 19th Century Spiritualism. At the end of the latter page, there’s a link to a password protected page with information for book groups, with the intriguing sentence ‘The password should be pretty easy to guess if you’ve read the book’ (though perhaps, as she suggests, once I read the book - I’m still waiting on the copy I ordered from Amazon - things will become clear).
Rebecca Laffar-Smith has also updated the look of her website, and moved it to it’s new domain name, www.writersroundabout.com. This week, Rebecca’s also posted her first blog review, alerting me to another great site, Writing for Writers, by Melissa A. Donovan.
Finally, I received a message through Facebook today, letting me know that the new Legend Press website is now live. Again, the site is based on a blog format - which will accomodate their regular updates. It also incorporates an online shop where, at the moment, they’re offering special package deals to celebrate the launch.
Your thoughts
Launched a new site recently? Started a new writing-related series? Written a great post? Please let me know by leaving a comment on this entry.
Aww, thank you for the link love, Natasha!
I can’t think of any ‘new’ sites today but I have a many great blogs in my reader and I’ll blog review a few of them in the coming weeks.
*goes off to check out the other links*
Thanks for the linkies!
Amazon STILL haven’t sent your copy?! Have you tried querying its whereabouts?
Faye: It finally arrived today! Am really looking forward to starting it, but it seems it’s going to be a busy week ahead… For now, it’s sitting on my bookshelf with your book-plated message inside the front cover, and I’m trying not to cave in to temptation.
Dear Natasha,
I’m one of Legend’s writers.
I thought you might be interested in the debate I’m having at my blog about the cover for my novel.
Kind Regards,
Lee Henshaw.
Hi Natasha, thanks for letting all your web readers know about our new site, most appreciated!
We’ll make sure we add a link from our sidebar as I think your site is incredibly helpful for writers.
All best wishes,
Emma
Excellent - glad Amazon finally got their arses in gear!
