There are so many books out there about writing and the publishing industry, and there seems to be more published every day. But weeding through the mountain of books to find the treasures is a mission. And if you're like me, you don't really know where to start.
Enter the Judy L Mohr's Writing Books Book Club (JLM Book Club for short).
The sole purpose of the JLM Book Club is to encourage writers to read some of those writing craft books, discuss them, and decide if those books are worth recommending to the masses. It's free to join, and you are all invited.
You will need a Discord account that is more than 5 minutes old. (This is a deliberate setting choice to avoid issues with those new to Discord struggling to get into the server.)
