Two recent blog posts...

Over at the Engine Books blog, I am beginning to write a regular column on publishing and the business of writing.

I’m the One Who Wants to Be with You

Write your best. Approach publishers with professionalism. If you want to work with a publisher, make sure you like (at least some of) their books. How would you act if you were having a meal with that editor? I think you’d be polite. But something about sending out work or approaching publishers/presses at a book fair makes some writers lose their common decency.
