Eavesdrop on the Frankfurt Book Fair and publishing’s future.

Open call: Carina Press is looking for science fiction novellas — holiday themed — for 2012 publication. They’ll be edited by Angela James.

Darlings, I love your hats! but … are you wearing them at the right time? Patricia Wrede has an excellent article on author professionalism (me, I’d call it managing your own expectations, and the hats are a way of doing so).

You might have heard me shrieking about this around the Net. Carina Press has released A Clockwork Christmas for early reviews via Netgalley.com. I’m in love with this anthology that I’m lucky enough to be part of. Great editor, wonderful cover, brilliant and supportive fellow authors, the stories are amazing. All I need now are happy readers and 2011 will be a blessed year. If you’re a reviewer who’d like to review A Clockwork Christmas, the link is to a pop-up, http://netgalley.com/index2.php?module=catalog&genre=&type=4&txt=Carina or you can browse via “publisher: Carina” at NetGalley.
