What’s News?

It seems that every day brings another change to the publishing business. Whether it's an innovative book reader being announced, or the launch of a new--and, of course, revolutionary--business model, or (simply!) more corporate restructuring, there's always something going on.

It's tough to keep up with so much turmoil, but I try (hey, it beats writing!).

I get a lot of my information from three daily e-bulletins, delivered straight to my email box. Subscribe and find out what’s going on!

I also pick up bits and pieces of newsworthy items from Twitter (maybe that should be "twits and pieces"). Often, the tweets will include links to more in-depth sources. Sarah Weinman (@sarahw) is one of the newsier people to follow, especially for happenings in the world of mystery fiction.

Where do you get your industry news?

It's a little scattered. I subscribe to the NY Times book blog, Salon.com's book blog, Huff Post book blog, Guardian UK, etc. I also get a lot from GalleyCat. Then there's Twitter, of course. I'm probably getting it from so many directions that it's hard to absorb...

Thanks for the newsy Twitterer to follow....

I subscribe to Publishers Lunch, but plan to check into the other two you mentioned. I also scan the book sections of various online newspapers.

Publisher's Lunch is my source. When I really want the hot skinny...quck and dirty...I visit a Million Blogging Monkeys. Always something of interest.

Elizabeth - You must me able to teach Evelyn Wood a thing or two. Too much news and my head would explode.

Jane - Maybe I should check out some online papers. Get a more balanced viewpoint. Hey, does Jon Stewart review fiction?

Galen - If you're reading this blog for news, then you've got a serious problem, sir. Although some of what I write is certainly quck :)
