literary and book publishing news
I've seen this new web app mentioned several times today. I'm going to check it out later this week. It occurred to me, CompareMyDocs would really come in handy when you have critique buddies sending back their assessment of your writing. It's always been a bit of a hassle to open various files and compare what one critique partner or contest judge said about the same passage.
If you get a chance to try it, let me know your thoughts.
Did you sign-up for NANOWRIMO this year? I signed up for this event for the past 2-3 years. While I'm itching to start on a new story, I'm determined to put to rest older ones. I finalized the edits for my romantic suspense, When Rain Falls, back in September. Now I need to do the same for my cozy mystery, Deep Fried Trouble (DFT).
My main character in DFT has diabetes and November happens to be Diabetes Awareness Month. While I develop the final draft for this character, I will also be gathering my research on diabetes. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I know it will come in handy down the line. I've learned a lot of good tips from marketing buddies. ;-)
Absolutely love this song! Can't stop listening to it. :)
As an avid bookworm, I've had my eye on an eBook reader for awhile. Still torn between the Kindle and Sony Reader. Now it appears I might want to wait a little longer before I make a purchase.
Barnes & Noble are coming out with their own eReader.
I'm also very curious about this infamous Apple Tablet that might make an appearance in 2010.
Tough being a bookworm and a techie person. So many choices.
I need to catch up on writing new articles. With the long weekend ahead, I'm planning to outline article ideas. Be on the look-out for new writing craft and book marketing articles toward the end of July. In the meantime, you can check out:
