- Roni Loren kicks off her inaugural Monday columns by guest bloggers (I have a column every 5th Monday of the month!) with Suzanne Johnson with a fantastic post on deep characters for plot-first writers.
- Anne Allen has a recap of publishing trends and what they may mean. I'm not sure I agree 100% with all of Anne's assessment but no matter what, she gets you thinking about the larger picture of publishing and its future.
- Meghan Ward discusses what happens when a family member doesn't want you to publish your book. Meghan's sister asked her not to publish her book. It's a very weird thing to have happen. What would you do?
- The Everybody Needs a Little Romance blog asks whether you read the acknowledgements and dedications page.
- Meredith Barnes talks about QR codes as they relate to book publishing. This is super interesting. I've posted before about the neatness and usefulness of QR codes, and since then I've noticed tons of magazine ads using them. That being said, I rarely get out my phone and click them anymore. I think they're best used when on the go.
- For those of you wondering whether to submit to agents in the summer or not, Bookends has an answer.
- From agent Kathleen Ortiz, another good query crafting post.
- An incredibly eye-opening post (in more ways than one!) from Jenn LeBlanc on Roni Loren's blog about Jenn's alternative and very unique idea to book publishing. Check it out. Jenn is doing what I bet many other people eventually do, too. Epubbing has made it easy to.
