#TheFashionForwardWriter: Briefcase Encounters
New PHS editor Christy Kate McKenzie is talking about those all important laptop cases and briefcases, and has managed to find something for every budget!
Forget diamonds. If you ask me, a bag is a girl’s best friend. By extension, a briefcase or laptop bag is certainly a writer’s best friend. Being able to carry your laptop down to the local coffee shop or have your iPad handy while waiting for a doctor’s appointment means you can grab every extra minute to increase your word count.
So where do you go to find the prefer bag to suit not only your tastes, but your budget? Look no further than Etsy! As a bag lady, myself, I have compiled a list of 5 of my favorites to suit any author’s budget!
