What do I look for in a writing community?  

Do we have to pay to be a part of a writing community?   

What are the etiquettes of being a part of a writing community?

Some of the questions we answered were:  

As an introvert I find that a lot of the marketing advice out there feels inauthentic to me. Like with asking people to share my work or networking at writing events and even social media. How can I market my book in a way which aligns with me?   

Do I have to be on social media to sell my book?  

Can I relaunch my already released book? How?
