Welcome to the Blog Carnival

November 19, 2009 //  by Rachel Kent//  19 Comments

Blogger: Rachel Zurakowski

Location: Books & Such main office, Santa Rosa, Calif.

Welcome to our blog carnival! Throughout the week I’ve been receiving links to blogs about everything related to book publishing and writing. Now I get to share these blogs with you.

I encourage you to check them out and leave comments. If you see a blog that you especially relate to  or that’s on a topic you are an expert on, send an email to the blog owner to ask if you can link to the blog on your website or blog. Maybe they’ll want to link to your page too! Or perhaps you see a blog you might be able to guest blog on. Why not introduce yourself to the blog owner? This “party” is all about making connections. I hope you enjoy it! Please feel free to post comments and feedback on the Books & Such blog comments section too.

    Hi, Rachel

    The link for Write2Ignite! is incorrect. It links instead to Jean’s Encouraging Words.

    The correct link is http://write2ignite.wordpress.com

    Thanks,
    Jean
