KNOWVEMBER
Welcome readers, authors and writers of any stage! This is a new event called #knowvember. November is a busy month for all of us, and sometimes marketing is hard. Many of us attempt to write a novel this month on top of everything else, and I thought let's make this marketing thing simple and fun!
I asked some of my readers and writer friends what they'd like to know about their favorite writers and have compiled 30 days of prompts.
Use the hashtag #knowvember for each's day response. I've put together a quick calendar as well as a list of all the questions for the month. These are also available in a Google folder HERE.
Thank you for participating! Hopefully we can build community and get to know one another better through this busy month!
