There’s an interesting piece in Time Magazine this week by Lev Grossman about modern book publishing, and how the way mainstream publishing does things now is a dying breed, and that change is-a-coming.
Rexroth, Trixie, and I are headed north this weekend to spend a week in snowy South Dakota with the Implausible clan. And, like the comic says, I am planning what I’ll bring with me. Presents, of course, and clothes and boring stuff, but also: BOOKS!
This is, according to Google, Trevor the Turkey, who loves shoes almost as much as I do. And so, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, a list of things I’m thankful for:
Neil Gaiman recently posted about T-Mobile’s fancy new G1 phone, and his aborted attempts to test one out. One day later, he alluded to the fact that a G1 may be on its way to him, and I, for one, can only say: WHAT ABOUT ME????
Spent another day running around the city to meetings with editors, authors, and scouts, and while I had to replace the battery on my phone/mobile email device, my Kindle is standing up like a champ! I am the new champ of subway reading! Granted, I got a head start on my flight into town, but I am tearing through my submissions pile and have found at least four manuscripts out of the 40 or so partials I requested where I’d like to see the full novel. And they’re not all what I might expect.
