It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve posted any links, so here are a few that caught my eye. Starting with the heavily anticipated Apple Tablet expected out this March, there is much speculation. According to Apple Insider, Apple filed a patent for a VERY COOL tactile keyboard. The site also reports that Apple […]
Between fighting a cold and organizing my toddler’s birthday party, I’m a little late in getting links out. For people visiting for the first time, it’s tradition on writing and publishing blogs to post links to your favorite articles of the week. Here are mine:
An inspirational post from an intern at The Bent Agency, […]
I tested nook today! And I was disappointed. I thought I wanted one for Christmas, but now I think I’ll wait to see what goodness the Apple Tablet brings. I do think we’ll all have e-readers eventually. But I also think they have a ways to go before they’ll really be able to compete with […]
Here are links to my favorite writing and publishing blog posts this week:
Jade Park wrote a great post about rejection.
This news is a month old already, but I still find it fascinating that a Georgia court awarded a woman $100,000 after she claimed that a childhood friend portrayed her as an “alcoholic slut” […]
I’m curious why people buy the books they buy. Because someone recommended it? Because you saw it in a bookstore and it looked interesting? Because you read a review? Because you’ve read a previous book by the author and liked it? (Below I list the last ten books I bought and why I bought them […]

It’s tradition on writing/editing/publishing blogs to show your link love every Friday. Here are some highlights from this week:
According to agent Kristen Nelson, “really good might not be good enough” in this market.
Via agent Janet Reid, here is Tom’s Glossary of Book Publishing Terms. Funny!
After publishing blogs lit up over the Harlequin […]
George Consagra, the COO of Scribd.com came to the Grotto for lunch this past June. If you don’t know what Scribd (pronouncd “Scribbed”) is, it started two years ago as a YouTube for documents, and in May transformed into an iTunes for documents as members became able to name their price for material they uploaded. […]
I’m not done reading my Vook, but I’m going to give a halfway report. First of all, the vook I bought is Gary Vaynerchuk’s Crush It. Although I’d never heard of Vaynerchuk before I bought the vook, I’m a sucker for all social media literature at the moment, and his looked genuinely interesting. Now that […]
Resist all you wish, but we will ALL eventually be reading books on e-readers. Bookcases will become archaic pieces of furniture reserved for people who use film cameras and collect CDs. Like it makes no sense to carry a hundred CDs in your car when you can pack an iPod, it will make no sense […]
