Fall is the time of year when we get the most visitors. Everybody wants to see the finest Fall foliage and Fall in Maine is magical in its beauty. For about 3 weeks each year, the colors are so amazingly crisp and bright that we feel like we’re living in a postcard…
I agree that people should not pre-format their manuscript before sending it to a publisher. Most publishers’ websites have different suggestions and want the manuscript left justified with the right margin unformatted and ragged so they can read it.

It cannot be accepted if it does not follow the publisher’s unformatted requirements. It is so much easier just to leave it unformatted for the publisher to read it and evaluate it.

We were pretty hungry after a long day of tire trouble, repairs and driving and we could not WAIT to eat some really good food. The Turning Stone Casino in Verona, New York had quite an impressive list of restaurants to choose from.
When we walked into the casino, Max and Mason were in awe of the lights and the slot machines (which they were only permitted to ogle from a distance). Max was looking in wonder at the actual casino and said, “I wish I was 18!”…
Lots of reader response to last week’s “World’s Worst Book Proposals”…
Some writers tend to look down their nose at the PR side of the world of publishing. I can remember in journalism school how PR folks were referred to as flacks. The real truth is that journalists and PR consultants are really after the same thing…
