What's changing is that the funnel is in the process of inverting - from a top down publishing process to one that's bottom up. from Nathan Bransford's piece ... this seems like a very important shift, and as he notes, we might have more books published but with smaller reader bases, niches, word-of-mouth marketing. Interesting.

I'm longing to visit the Shakespeare blog, but don't know if I can dedicate the time. Sounds very interesting, and fun. Thanks for linking all these, as always. I was happy to hear words on trusting a writer's instinct, and always love browsing the commonly misspelled words lists that are out there. Those double letter choices still confuse me, no matter how often I look them up!

I really liked Maureen Johnson's Manifesto!

I'm probably just exuding the venom of a jealous rage,
what with you not being down in the millionths with me,
but I don't think you need these commas--
over on her, always interesting, blog
:)

The link about query letters had great advice, thank you! :)

I love that Manifesto and the whole surrounding post. Thanks!

Thanks for the shout out. I really enjoy your round-up. I can't always visit every one, but it's nice to have a list of good ones to scan and check out the one or two I have time for.

Thanks for the links (as always). I had missed some of those. I'll go check them out now. =)

As always, some very interesting stuff in there. Thanks for the roundup.

Thanks so much for listing Nathan's HuffPo piece! I had not seen that, and it has some good info.

Manifesto is hilarious! Lots of really great posts in here today. Thanks Jon! It became my, "waiting for dinner to cook" reading instead of lunchtime reading.

Nathan Bransford's post was excellent--Thank you soooo much for that link.

(I am, of course, pleased to see one of my own links given recognition, she says, modestly averting her eyes.)

I've only read the first link and loved it. Very informative. Thanks again Jon for all the great sites. I look forward to reading them.

Great list as usual. Thank you.

Great list. Nathan's was great. Maureen is geat . . . she subed for John Green's vlog when he was on paternity leave. . . funny! The misspelled words was great. Oh and I love Shakespeare. Well . . . you get the idea. You did great. You always do.

Thanks for the nod. :)
