My mother always says that “it all comes out in the wash.” Pay it forward, etc. I feel like my whole writing journey, young as it is, has been paved with support and encouragement from other writers. I’m more than happy to do the same for others.
Ann - I met you at a BooksGoSocial conference many years ago. And over the years we have shared tales... tall and short, and a friendship that I value. Yes, reciprocity among those writers I am in contact with is a valued addition to their friendship. Once again you are spot on in your observations.
This is a very positive trend and not necessarily how the literary world used to work, except amongst established insiders. As a recipient of your generosity, I can attest to it!
Thank you. I am old enough to know about writing and writers even back in the 1950s, but I was not in the swim! Still not, but I have been involved in the self-published world for about ten years now and it is very striking,

I find there are a lot of very helpful writers here on Substack. Thanks for posting, Ann.

Thanks so much. Too bad we meet only virtually these days.
I may yet visit Engalnd. Keep the faith.

Agree! Literary citizenship and all. It’s everything.
