Hello hemingwaywantabes. Hope all is well. And that you have been writing away on that that unique work of fiction, non-fiction, or poetry, whatever your interest may be.

During a writing and publishing seminar last week, I made sure the audience knew about a great resource tool, Publisherslunch.com. There wasn’t such a thing in Hemingway’s day, but now it is almost a must for any aspiring author since the daily information sent via email is critical to understanding what is occurring in the publishing business. There is news on every deal being completed, info on the author and book concept, details about the literary agent who sold the book, and mention of the editor at the publishing house who optioned the book. Wow, all you need to know in one installment.

Also, Publisherslunch.com provides resource material on literary agents, editors, etc. that is invaluable to assisting a writer’s search for the right agent or publisher for his/her book. So take a gander when you have time. There is a free email service, or a monthly subscription at a reasonable price. Either way, you will be linked into the publishing world like never before.
