Some great articles on writing and self-publishing for your reading pleasure again this week.

If you forgot to submit your e-book cover to our e-Book Cover Design Awards for February by midnight last night, don’t despair. We’re accepting submissions for our March contest until the end of the month.

And, don’t forget to submit your articles to our Self-Publishing: Carnival of the Indies blog carnival by March 15th.

Why?
"Writers change the world one reader at a time. But you can't change the world with a book that's still on your hard drive or in a box under your bed. This blog exists to help you get that book into people's hands."
