Networking is about getting yourself and your work noticed (preferably in a good way), but with over 43 million blogs on LiveJournal alone, it's easier said than done.
With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to host a network week, here on An Englishman in New Jersey, where people can promote themselves, and hopefully make some new friends and/or connections.
If you'd like to take part, just leave a comment, telling folks a little about yourself, your work and where they can find you online.
If you're in a writer's group, let us know which one(s). Planning on attending a conference or event soon, share the info (and a link too, if you have one). You never know, maybe some other folks here are going to the same thing.
Here's my info:
