A couple, actually, one I just found out about today, and one that I found out about a while ago that I forgot to link way back when. And I still owe you guys a complete links list, but then, I owe myself one too. Instead, you get a couple new blogs and one that’s [...]

If you are interested in children’s literature and reviewing and publishing, consider applying for the Horn Book internship. As Roger Sutton notes, maybe someday 7 Impossible Things Before Breakfast will interview you like they did Alvina Ling (which you should also check out–good interview). (Alvina, I had no idea you also interned at Horn Book. [...]

I’ve always said that the mark of a good book for me is dreaming about it. Well, maybe I should amend that. Not saying that the book I’ve been “reading” on my commute (via audiobook) isn’t an amazing book. Yikes, it’s wonderful and you should read it if you haven’t. But it’s also disturbing. Life [...]

While waiting for the latest episode of the Dresden Files to download in Itunes, I thought I’d catch up on a question here, but suddenly I’m torn because I remembered what I bought at the bookstore this evening while waiting for my hairstylist to catch up on her schedule. It had been a good six [...]

Jim MacDonald over at Making Light has put together a tour de force of early-1800s-literature-as-Buffy-tie-in that has made me giggle. Or perhaps it’s the insomnia (brought on by a nap much too late in the afternoon, though I’m sure I’ll be able to sleep again in a little while). Thinking of a girl rolling around [...]

Must Love Books is a new blog by T.S., a colleague of Alvina (of the Blue Rose Girls). He’s an editorial assistant at a children’s book publisher and has made a good start with a post giving advice on getting into publishing. Welcome, T.S.! ETA: Thanks for all the congratulations and well-wishes. And yes, my slush [...]

I just received some very good news. I’ve been promoted to full editor here at Mirrorstone (from associate editor). It’s a nice feeling, to be promoted, though I can’t imagine my duties will change drastically today–we’ve been working on expanding my duties and the imprint as a whole over the course of the last two [...]

We’ve got window washers this week. Last week, it was inside, and now I have a guy suction-cupped to the outside of my window, ropes dangling beside him and suds slipping down the side of the building. If you’ve ever seen our building, you’ll know that it’s entirely glass-fronted, so this is a large job. [...]

But I’m going to answer over the course of a few hours, when I need a breather from a manuscript I’m frantically trying to finish up. Have a deadline to beat and beat it we will, even if bumps keep coming up in the road with this particular project. That’s another part of the life [...]
