It starts tomorrow, and I’m thrilled. March Book Madness has arrived, and it’s my favorite time of year here on the blog! I can’t believe this is the FIFTH year. Wow. Time flies, eh?
What is March Book Madness?
I live in a house of sports fanatics who love March Madness (college basketball playoffs if you’re clueless like I used to be). But I’m not a sports nut. I love books. So a few years back I started March BOOK Madness.
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in March, I invite fellow authors to share their thoughts on the writing world, giving them an open mic to talk about anything book-ish. Writing. Editing. Marketing. Querying. It’s awesome (and perfect timing since March is also National Reading Month)!
It’s kind of like an online writers’ conference that lasts all month long. I always learn so much every year. I’m sure you will, too!
