I'm so excited for the #pit2pub event tomorrow. Thank you for organizing all of this and thank you to all the publishers and agents involved. By the way, the text in purple is really difficult to read. I have to highlight it before I can read it.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to everyone!
Yes, I am not happy with the purple text but it has evaded all my attempts to change it. Urgh!
DeleteJust tried again. Failed. Feeling rather computer stupid right now. (Why doesn't this work?)
DeleteOkay, I've reset the whole blog, but there are still parts in purple. I blame Kristin, because she loves that color so much! haha
DeleteI hope I managed to make things more readable for everyone. Good luck!
Newbie here! Where do I email my #Pit2Pub?
