Spotlight September (full list)

Thank you for following this post for Spotlight September. I had a lot of fun putting together the list and honestly I had to make a few last minute changes because creators bounced over the threshold. I love to see it. With that said, I hope you found some new people to follow through this initiative. 

Spotlight September is where I scour the internet in order to develop a list of content creators, authors and bookstores to shout out throughout the month of September. Each week on Twitter I will share a list of the following:
