FYI on publishing news....
Serack:
Brought up elsewhere in this section, and I think it belongs here:
http://kriswrites.com/ seems to have a LOT of info on publishing news. One of the things she emphasizes a lot is that it's in a lot of flux right now, so keeping up is important for those in the biz
Credit to trboturtle for bringing it to my attention.
Compass Rose:
Yep. Rust's business blog makes fascinating reading, and she keeps up to date on what is going on in publishing. Especially helpful if you are a writer who might be interested in epublishing...
Serack:
Kris Rusch posted last week warning that authors intending to use indy publishers be very careful utalizing services that "help" with indy publishing.

My sister-in-law just sent me the following link:
http://audiencebiz.com/training/writetodone/
It appears to be an online seminar on how to market a self-published book. Dunno if it's useful or not, but it's free.

I couldn't think of a better place to share this, but with all the stuff I have read from Kris Rusch warning about unscrupulous agents and such, when I read the below quote I wanted to be sure it was shared in the Author Craft section of my favorite community

--- Quote from: Helio5 ---Hi! I've been writing for about 9 years now and I recently finished a novel I'd been working on for about 3 years. I've been looking into getting published but it seems the only way no find a publisher is to get a publishing agent. Unfortunately, there seem to an indefinite amount of scam artists out there posing as agents. I was hoping you knew a way to see through all the "smog" and find an actual agent so that I can (hopefully) start my career as an author

Hey I know this is for Pat, but since I'm here, I hope he doesn't mind me jumping in.
•Preditors and Editors is a site that lists various people who have been found to be less than honorable
•Absoulte Write's Water Cooler has a Bewares, Recommendations & Background Check forum
•Writing Query Letters & Where to send them - is a reddit post I did with resources and advice.
I hope it helps, and sorry Pat for butting in.
