New Newsletters & Blogs by Market Books Editors...

I started the month of July by taking many days off work. Now I'm back in the office and down to business once again. (And happy to be here after several days of Murray's Potty Training Boot Camp, which was not particularly enjoyable for any of us. Any tips for a stubborn almost-3-year-old who is simply against potties are welcome.)

My first order of the afternoon is to invite you all to sign up for my CWIM newsletter which will debut later this month. The CWIM newsletter will include some industry news, an interview here and there, market info, news on upcoming conferences and various other things I think you'll be interested in reading about. The newsletter will come once a month, so it won't jam up your inbox, so why not sign up?

We are also offering new newsletters by other knowledgeable market books editors: Guide to Literary Agents' Chuck Sambuchino, Novel & Short Story Writer's Market's Lauren Mosko, and Poet's Market's Nancy Breen. Writer's Market editor Robert Brewer has been sending a newsletter for ages. If these topics don't appeal to you, please tell your writer friends.

We've had a couple new blogs debut recently as well--Chuck's GLA Editors' blog and Nancy and Robert's poetry blog, Poetic Asides.

Chuck's Newsletter on All Things Agent...

Guide to Literary Agents Editor Chuck Sambuchino will kick off his GLA e-newsletter tomorrow. "The purpose of this is newsletter," Chuck says, "is to keep readers updated on news, tips and great resources around the Web, regarding literary agents, screenwriting agents, writers' conferences and writing opportunities in general." To sign up visit the GLA page. If you'd like to see sample, click here. The newsletter will be biweekly.

I'll be launching a CWIM newsletter in the near future myself. Feel free to sign up now, but be patient, friends. Gotta get the 2008 CWIM to the printer first. (And go to BEA.)
