It’s tradition on writing/editing/publishing blogs to show your link love every Friday. Here are some highlights from this week:
Agent Nathan Bransford writes in the Huffington Post about what it takes to “move the needle,” or make an impact, within the publishing industry.
Ben Parr over at Mashable writes about how LinkedIn and Twitter […]
The two most talked about topics on publishing blogs these days are e-books (ie when are you getting one?) and author platforms (ie why don’t you have one?).
