Celebrating Writers N-Z, April 2025
Second half of the fourth list for 2025
Descriptions now added where possible for these writers.
Dive in, dear readers! So much to enjoy.
The N thru Z List in alphabetical order (fiction, non-fiction and a designer or two for your micropatronage):
New lists will now be posted on or near the first of each month in 2025. I will update them during that time. When each new month list is posted, I will delete the previous month’s post just to be sure you have the latest info.
