Today on Tuesday Writing Tips I wanted to pay tribute to everyone who has supported this blog since it started in 2009.
In that time, I have published nearly 400 posts on writing.
I’ve had so much wonderful support, and many people have suggested that I compile all my writing tips into a book/books for easy reference.
So that’s exactly what I’ve done.
Today, I’m excited to be launching the 10 Top Writing Tips series containing books for both adults and kids who love to write.
FREE e-books
To thank my blog readers and to help writers on the write track, I’m offering two books FREE

There are plenty more books planned for the series, but I’d love your input on what you’d like to see me write about in my next book.
