Cranking out a weekly post is a trifle hard these days, as I’m in the midst of beta reading a novel and deep in funding advocacy for New York State youth services.
Every now and then, I use my site as a platform for my ‘other life’ as a social worker. This is one hell of a year for not-for-profits, and if you agree that government deficits should be solved by higher-minded strategies than eliminating services for homeless youth, stop by Facebook and ‘like’ this page:
If you are a New York State resident, you can also send a message to elected officials with a couple of clicks.
My rewrite crawls along—not much to report there—but I have two really exciting, meaty projects coming up for my website. Stay tuned.
In the meantime, I wanted to suggest that folks check out John Morgan Wilson’s excellent column—Book Buzz—over at Lambda Literary.
Lambda has really stepped up it’s e-communications since their website was relaunched last year. They have wonderful, newsy bulletins with quite a range of book reviews, publishing news, and literary events. It’s one of the few e-newsletters that I read top to bottom.
JMW’s Book Buzz is an easily digestible, tasty even, round-up of recent and upcoming pub’s, awards and prizes, etc., and it’s a place where authors can plug their books. Read it here.
