The start of a new year is a great time to thank those who have helped you succeed as a writer in the past one.
If you’re an aspiring or published author, send a handwritten thank-you note to your agent, editors, publishers, book reviewers, mentors, or teachers.
If you’re in business, send a note to those who have critiqued your drafts or provided opportunities for you to develop or demonstrate your writing skill.
