        At the recent Mount Hermon Christian Writers Conference, I picked up flyers on a number of different services being offered to writers. Perhaps one of these will be just what you're looking for:

* Blogging Bistro: Laura Christianson offers a wide variety of services for the writer, including Website & Blog Design, Brand Identity, Content Writing & Editing, Social Media Strategy, and On-site Training & Workshops. For a free estimate: 425-244-4242, info@BloggingBistro.com, www.BloggingBistro.com.

* Library Insider: Public libraries are a significant, frequently overlooked market for book sales. Library Insider offers a selective database of U.S. libraries, as well as expert training to help you engage the library contacts most likely to purchase your books.

* Inspire Christian Writers, Equipping Writers to Inspire the World: A community of writers who help each other develop the craft.
