I just want you and whatever team supports your efforts to know that I once again I have shared several of this week's postings with my writer's group. I know its better for your substack if I were to share it here through substack but most of my group are not regular visitor here. Also I just email them the links to workshops that might be of interest. Anyway, if your goal is to help these workshop providers and writers and readers, you ARE doing that. I've taken three workshops myself because of your listings.
I'm so grateful you compile this content.
