17 Reasons Why Writers Need to Network
Networking, making connections, and growing your writing community with other authors and writers is more important than you may realize…or want to believe.
Truth: writing a book is a solitary task, but writing friends can offer advice and support on the vast and confusing world of writing and publishing. Their experience can especially guide a beginner writer through the precess of rewrites, editing, querying, publishing, and platform building.
Author collectives, writing network, writing communities, Zoom groups, and review groups offer invaluable support and provide opportunities for so many different aspects of the writing and manuscript to book process. Social media is one great way to make, form, and cultivate author, reader, and reviewer connections.
This episode discusses 17 reasons why writers , especially beginner writers, need to make time to engage, network with authors and writers, and build their writing community.

A Virtual Assistant ~ Do You Need One?
You wrote the book. Maybe a few. Maybe a lot. You market your books, you’re active on social media, you write…and it’s exhausting! Or maybe you have full-time job, children, and/or provide in-home care for a loved one. Your writing time is precious.
But doing all that author stuff takes up too much of your writing time. Is it time for a virtual assistant?
This episode is about figuring out if you need a virtual assistant and the benefits of having a virtual assistant to give you more time to write.
FYI: I employ a virtual assistant on occasion for certain author-related tasks.
