Gone But Living On

No, this is not about zombies. As anyone who has read my posts here or on my own blog will know I'm a great admirer of the blog, Help! I Need a Publisher, where author Nicola Morgan shares her knowledge of writing and publishing in the UK. It's full of great advice and useful information in a very readable and entertaining format so I was saddened when she announced a few weeks ago that she was giving up blogging there.

But there is a silver lining. The blog is staying up, just not being added to, and, of course, her books on writing and publishing are available as e-books. Well worth a visit by anyone wanting to learn about writing and publishing in the UK and anywhere else for that matter.
