Because your blog is one of the best sources of info in the business.

I'd never heard of some of these publishers that people mentioned but that doesn't make me right.<BR/><BR/>One of the best things about this blog is that there is a collective brain at work. I try to get most stuff right; I think I do. But, if I "oops", there are folks who set me straight. I"m glad they take the time to read the blog and write in.<BR/><BR/>And the advice to check everything: good advice even if I didn't say it myself.Miss Snarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01310015518327171251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1140628061375388162006-02-22T12:07:00.000-05:002006-02-22T12:07:00.000-05:00kathie, lyfe, nice to see you!

I'm glad it helped, because I certainly believe in the value of Miss Snark's blog and have emailed her questions that have ended up being addressed in posts.<BR/><BR/>And fortunately, not as the nitwit of the day.<BR/><BR/>It should also be noted that the times, they are a-changin'. Publishing goes through cycles. So as much as you <I>can</I> get good advice from Miss Snark and even Konrath, you should also check out the Writer's Market, talk to authors and talk to people in the business.<BR/><BR/>I'll actually be interviewing a publisher for Spinetingler, and that will come out likely in August. I'll definitely put the link here - a smaller, independent publisher in the UK. I met the woman who started it last year at Harrogate and I think her insight will benefit everyone, which is why I asked for the interview.Sandra Ruttanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109584805469336742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-1140625830035933982006-02-22T11:30:00.000-05:002006-02-22T11:30:00.000-05:00Thanks for the info about the publishers.
