Some Year in Review Offers for Writers

 

The end of the year comes with looking back. It's a traditional time to assess what worked and what didn't. In the writer's marketplace, this celebration of successes tends to be good for writers. A vendor of writer services may proffer some of their best products produced during that year and make them available free of charge. The supplier does it to thank the buyers, as well as to market themselves, all writers can benefit from this largesse.  

 

The year-in-review process produces some fine writer sites, such as:
