SQUAWK POLL


Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For all the wonderful suggestions and thoughtful comments you made in the ALL EARS blog. We love you guys! Now, we’ve gone through the suggestions for Squawk Radio upgrades and here are the results. Please take a few seconds to fill it out.

But first, a few words about why the suggestions for research links and the like aren’t included in the poll. Fact is, we decided straight from the start that Squawk Radio couldn’t be a dedicated Writers Blog. Squawk Radio is primarily a Readers Blog, because while all readers aren’t writers, all writers are readers. Where am I going with this?

As far as research goes ... Right to the Squawkers’ Individual Websites!

Many of us have recommended research links and research books posted on our websites. Bonus! We all have excerpts, reviews, sometimes discussions of our entire backlists of books. There are several ways to get to the sites-- click on a Squawk Chick, on a Squawker’s name on the bar above or on the Press Tab. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the wealth of material we have out there!

Oh, yeah...and Kitty will be back next week! With an interview!
