About This Writing Stuff...

OK, I said that this blog would be inactive as I worked on a special writing project but I managed to compile a mini-edition of my weekly round-up.  So this week, find out why the French still love their bookstores and how indie shops are embracing digital publishing.   Jami Gold asks what we owe to new writers while Jessica Park expresses her gratitude to Amazon.  We have a hat trick from Dean Wesley Smith's New World of Publishing series.  Ray Rhamey gives advice on maximixing eBook royalties while Jan O'Hara talks drama and Seth Godin reinvents publishing.
