Craig here, and it’s Ffriday. At Story Empire this means it’s time for our weekly curated content post.
This is where our members share things they’ve discovered during the week that may be of interest to our fellow authors.

And a great editing and formatting post, by PH Solomon.
Today is the last day of our Story Empire Roadshow. You still have a chance at the prizes, so you might want to check the tour page and comment on the individual host blogs.

“let us know if you find something helpful.”
There is a lot to call like that. One just needs time for.

Time is a huge factor. That’s one of the reasons we started these posts. To try and save everyone the time it takes to find all this stuff on their own.
Hoping you have a moment or two to read something that catches your eye. 🙂
