Yet another fake agency alert: Vanderbilt Literary Agency. Content & book covers plagiarized from a real agency (Frances Goldin Literary), AI-fake photos of supposed agents, & a website just 21 days old vanderbiltliteraryagency.com

Was talking with a man who runs an excellent small press He told me my writing is award winning caliber. That took my breath away. I may never win an award but last night he made me feel like I had. This is how we should treat each other. The book?

Anyone ever hear about a "Marl Noble Book Review" or a "Marl Noble Prize"? I may have identified a new scam, but just in case it is legit, apparently my book has been nominated. Of course I don't know which book, and I have written a few, thus this is a likely scam.

While most of us would agree that being banned is a great marketing strategy (Ban My Books! Please) the practice of banning any book is wrong minded. We must read to understand, and evil can best be faced if understood. This is a breath of fresh air: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

The exhibit of Ethiopian art at the Peabody Essex museum in Salem MA was wonderful

That thing where reading publishing gossip is how I'm procrastinating from writing. Makes me understand how Lady Whistledown got readers.

He’s looking for unicorns

One rabbit, two squirrels, two chipmunks, and one dove. Gwen’s favorite episode of cat TV.

No matter your opinion on the current war between Israel and Hamas, this is chilling: www.nytimes.com/2024/05/27/o...

Opinion | A Chill Has Fallen Over Jews in Publishingwww.nytimes.com A litmus test has emerged across wide swaths of the literary world, effectively excluding Jews from full participation unless they denounce Israel.

At the right place at the wrong time my mistake allowed me to encounter this. May all your mistakes be such a blessing.
