Just received an email from Publishers Weekly about some writers guides for the brave new world our industry is experiencing. Here's the link: 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Way back when, we had this grand idea that if we created a Facebook page, we could reach a larger audience and introduce them to our cool new website.  Well... we certainly reached the audience, but we still lack members getting involved with the MWSA website and forums. 

We've recently undergone more renovations at the website to make it more user friendly without being too overwhelming.

Here's a link to an article about the industry that I picked up from Media Bistro: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/113139/celebrity-imprints-are-run-joh...

To any MWSA members who happen to reside in the New Orleans area:

John Penny, book reviewer for The Aviator, the monthly publication of the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association, is looking for writers and publishers who reside in or around New Orleans in order to include them in a presentation he is putting on re: publishing for the VHPA's upcoming convention in New Orleans. You can contact John at pennyjjg@fairpoint.net. Tell him you got his whereabouts from Marc Yablonka.
