I joined the World Literary Cafe http://worldliterarycafe.com/ back in Fall of 2011. This community of readers, writers, bloggers and mentors spans the globe and all walks of life. When I put an ad in offering copy editing services, I did my first international copy editing by going over a novel by an Italian journalist. Through my ad offering copy editing services in the Author Toolbox, I also met my great friend and business partner publisher Theresa Oliver who publishes paranormal romance books. Her website is: www.writemorepublications.com
When my time travel comedy, Jan of Cleveland was first released in December of 2011, I received a lot of attention when I entered my book in the WLC New Release Promotion. I also had my leading man, Ethelred Fortescue, be the star of the Charcter Interview and still re-read it from time to time.
The World Literary Cafe has a big presence on Twitter. The handle is: @WorldLitCafe
