Featured on Friday: TBB Member @dadofdivas
I could say it 50 or 100 times a week, and it would always be true: without Team Buzz Builder, our book launches would not be as successful. As the Book Launch Director, knowing there are "go to" individuals who will host guest posts, accept books to review, and use...
The #WITeam Says: Happy Birthday @beckyrbnsn!

What You Don’t Know CAN Hurt You
It wasn't until a thick envelope arrived in my office via FedEx that the issue of copyright infringement of images came into clear focus for me. When I started blogging in 2009, we rarely incorporated images and I relied on the expertise of the university who owned...
