This week! The books! I don’t know if it’s the new year or the chilly weather or the fact that everyone is dusting off their shiny new e-reader for a little “Holy cow I’m not reading on paper anymore,” but there were quite a few Future of Publishing articles this week, so let’s get right […]

I’m back! Hello. Nice to see you. First up, an update on the Be An Agent for a Day contest. Thank you so much to the hundreds and hundreds (and hundreds) of you who have volunteered your query. When I started I thought, “I sure hope I can get 50!” That was misguided. I’m going […]
