Transcripts from CoyoteCon, which include publishing news: http://coyotecon.com/transcripts/

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 (http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,26280.msg1120236.html#msg1120236) for bringing it to my attention.

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...

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
source (http://www.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/1v7nb6/heya_everybody_im_patrick_rothfuss_ama/ceq2404)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 (http://pred-ed.com/) is a site that lists various people who have been found to be less than honorable
•Absoulte Write's Water Cooler (http://absolutewrite.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22) has a Bewares, Recommendations & Background Check forum
•Writing Query Letters & Where to send them (http://www.reddit.com/r/Write2Publish/comments/1azerj/traditional_publishing_resources_for_writing/) - is a reddit post I did with resources and advice.
I hope it helps, and sorry Pat for butting in.
