Curiosity Quills recently reached a huge milestone; a thousand posts. CQ have come a long way in the last few years, and  want to thank everyone who has supported them thus far; it’s greatly appreciated. They  hope you’ll stick with them into the future, as they have some exciting things planned.

Reaching such a massive milestone has made them reflective and eager to improve and one of the areas they want to focus on is their social media presence. For this reason, they've created a quick user survey to find out how you rate their social media presence this far, and what they can do to improve.

It only takes three minutes to fill out, and Curiosity Quills will be extremely grateful if you could give them your feedback. Thank you. 



Thank you for taking the time to check out what Curiosity Quills is all about, and what they've got going on at the moment. I don't just say this from the point of view of an employee, but also as a writer who thinks what they're doing is brilliant, and truly believes in them.

Please check back later in the week for Working Wednesday for another snippet from my WiP paranormal romance.
