Despite the plethora of difficulties that 2020 gave us, there were a few positives.
For example: In the midst of some really hard times, the #supportsmall movement gained a lot of traction. And we were proud to be even the tiniest part of that trend.
Last year, we posted a blog - "Exciting Writing-Themed Gift Ideas" - that shared some magical small business creations, perfect for the writer in your life. Ready for another installment?
