The State of Publishing
Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 05:34PM
There seems to be a theme this week of the difficulty of midlist authors in the publishing business, or, rather, just the difficulty of publishing in general. Check out what's being said:
Mitali Perkins charts a Twitter convo (I like this model of Twitter-reporting, btw).
Kristin Nelson talks about the elusiveness of the "breakout" novel and also counters with an argument for the midlist author.
Elana Roth at Caren Johnson Agency talks about making a good match between agent/author and editor/author.
And despite the fact that these have nothing to do with "the state of publishing", I liked these posts as well:
Authors who over share.
Writing vs English papers.
And I just recently appreciated all the awesome interviews with authors on Enchanted Inkpot, like this awesome interview that actually made me want to read Evermore and this interview with my new favorite author Janice Hardy.
Check it out; I don't feel like blogging about anything important today. ;-)
