Buried in the Slush Pile

Buried in the Slush Pile is an editor's blog with lots of great information about how a small press works. Now the editor of CBAY Books and the writer of this blog is in the beginning stages of a banned book discussion that is bound to get bigger. David Michael Slater's The Book of Knowledge has been raising the hackles of those people who love to ban books that don’t offer their own religious viewpoint. Go to this blog to find out more.

Guide to Literary Agents

Guide to Literary Agents

I’ve listed this blog under Agent Blogs although it is actually written by the editor of the Writer’s Digest yearly Guide to Literary Agents. This blog updates the current edition of the guide by posting updates and changes in the listings. It also offers other tidbits of information, such as the September 27th post on Word Count for Novels and Children’s Books: The Definitive Post. A great blog for up-to-date info on Agents even if you don’t own a copy of the guide.
