What writers have helped and inspired you? . I had the loveliest, most helpful Zoom chat with @maryweberauthor today! We’ve never met before outside of Bookstagram, but last week I bit the bullet and signed up with @cherrypieauthorservices for some much-needed advice on the next phase of my career, and so far it’s been worth every penny! Mary is so warm and thoughtful and knows so much about the business of writing as both an author and a marketer — she’s really a pleasure to talk with. If you’ve been thinking about signing up for one of her packages, I recommend it! Whether you’re an established author needing an update or just getting started in your career, she can help you figure out the best next steps for you. . (No, I’m not getting paid for this endorsement! I really am that happy with the way things have gone so far and we aren’t even finished yet!) . I haven’t read Mary’s latest YA novel TO BEST THE BOYS yet, but it sounds really intriguing and I’m looking forward to digging into it as soon as I whittle down my existing TBR stack a bit. I love the cover! Hedge mazes are cool and I wish there were more of them in Canada (we have corn mazes but it’s just... not the same somehow...). . Anyway, who are the writers who have helped you? Let’s chat about them in comments! . . .
