Where have I been the last seven years? I just found out today that Travelers’ Tales doesn’t do rejection letters. I know we’ve done them in the past, but I guess that our staff time and resources do not allow for that extra step anymore. And yes, at the very bottom of the guidelines page […]

Coastal Living Magazine
I quickly checked out Writer’s Weekly this morning and I love their Markets and Jobs section. Markets and Jobs Coastal Living magazine caught my eye, and I was glad that I checked out their writer’s guidlines. They are impressively thorough.

So I’m reading hard and fast cramming for the humor book. Trying desperately to find some big names for my first round of turning publisher info into Travelers’ Tales for the humor book. Due date tomorrow. Technically I have a few more weeks, but the little stuff has to get turned in first. Like my […]

A day where indie bookstores come together to support the book community, sell their wares, and have a day of author readings, signings, and events.
