This Week in the Blogs, October 1 – 7, 2020

By Shelley Sturgeon

The leaves are starting to change color where I live. I love this time of the year–the colors, the smells, that feeling of wrapping up in a warm sweater… What is your favorite season?

Some good articles again this week full of information and inspiration, and in case you’ve forgotten:

• You can submit your best blog posts to our blog carnival, Self-Publishing: Carnival of the Indies, by midnight on Thursday, October 15th.
   
• There is still time to submit your ebook covers for inclusion in October’s e-Book Cover Design Awards. Submissions are accepted until October 31st.

Be well and stay safe! See you back here next Friday.
