There are so many authors I never would have found without getting some sort of sample of their writing - whether it was from their blog through simple blogging or through receiving a free book of theirs.

I agree we need to offer samples in some way .. and then people will come back for more.<br /><br />I use free postcards that promote pickles and chutneys and include a recipe ... I think more of that sort of thing would be a way forward .. <br /><br />Postcard poems .. etc <br /><br />Useful thoughts here - thanks - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
