Do you (or anyone else) know if there are any plans to offer transcripts of the events after the fact?

There's interesting stuff there, to be sure, but the likelihood of my attending at those times is low.

Heh, thanks. Apparently the transcripts link appeared after they stared putting them up.  :D

Interesting stuff though. I read through several of them.

Noting earth shattering, but plenty of additional flavor to add to your stew.  ;)

Michael Levin gives a talk June 15th on getting published. Found this through Writer's Market. Appears to be free. May be just a sales pitch (ala hard-sell timesharing), may be completely legit, not sure which.

Note: This appears to be about much more than ghostwriting...that's just his claim to fame.

How do you know you have a good book?  It's 3am and you think "Just one more chapter!"
