Today’s links of interest:
- The Litblob Co-Op
Gwenda (who actually admits to a second glass of wine!) starts off "The Girl In The Glass Week" with a brilliant opening. Which we’re supposed to respond to with equal intelligence. Which means no more goofing off here until we’ve pulled something… - The Wild Rose Press
New publisher — proceed at your own risk (in other words, do your homework). - Quills Set for October 10

Brenda Coulter weighs in as well. As she should. - Excerpt from Upcoming ?Atlas Shrugged? Script
Ed practices scriptwriting. We await his version of the big Atlas Shrugged sex scene. You know, down in the railway station at midnight. - The Elegant Variation: BOOK BIZ
TEV continues his coverage of the LA Times Festival of Books. Note: never read anything about the business on an empty stomach. - The Reading Experience: The Economy of the Small Scale
The Reading Experience reminds that blockbusters are for today, the long tail is forever (or as close to forever as bookselling gets).
