12 x 12 Summer Celebration #1 – Book Releases

Welcome to our 12 x 12 Summer Celebration! We are launching a new 12 x 12 Good News feature. Every month we will showcase 12 x 12 member book releases, agent signing news, book deals, and award winners! To launch this fun new feature, every week in the month of July, we will post 12 x 12 member good news from January – June 2018. Starting in August, Good News will be featured on the blog monthly.

If you are a 12 x 12 member with good news to share in one of these categories, look for the link to the Good News form in the Important Announcement section of the forum.

Let’s begin with the first six 12 x 12 member books released in 2018! Help us celebrate by clicking on “Click to Tweet” and sharing the good news and books with your social media networks. It’s a quick and easy (and free!) way to help your fellow writers!
