Monday Motivation
Publishing: So Tools of Change took place, which was liveblogged and livetweeted all over the web, and has sparked an interesting flurry and vaguely related blogposts. Jennifer Laughran explains how, as an agent, she goes about subbing to various publishers and imprints. Carrie Ryan talks about what she expected when she became a full time writer. Amanda Hocking shares her thoughts on why self-publishing is the harder route. Stephanie Laurens discusses the future of publishing.
Interest-Piquing: The former CEO of Boders UK (remember, it closed a few Christmas’s again?) talks about where Borders USA went wrong. Hindsight is fifty fifty, isn’t it? The FTC are investigating Apple’s new in-app purchasing rules.
Procrastination: www.bookbyyou.com, and Cleolinda Jones’s hilarious experiments with it.
(shh I deleted InsPiring because I couldn’t think of anything and there’s lots of links anyway!)
Don’t forget, there’s one week left to enter the competition to win 21 Hammer films.
