This is Who-Man. My son and I invented him over breakfast this morning. He's a superhero who uses confusion to defeat his enemies. "Whaaaat?" you may well ask. Come read my new "Countdown to Publication" blog post called "This is Who-man: On Writing, Play, and Fun" at http://julijsukys.com. All will be clear.

Countdown to Publication: The Work of Promoting a Book

My new book, Epistolophilia: Writing the Life of Ona Šimaitė (cover seen above) will appear in four months.

A few nights ago, I had a great conversation with my press's publicist. Cara told me how she sat down on the couch to leaf through my book and was so drawn in that she ended up reading the whole thing in a matter of days.

Now, if you're a writer, you'll know how great it is to hear anyone say this. To hear it from the person who is tasked with promoting your work -- in my case, a book that took me about a decade to complete -- is like salve to the soul.

Please come by the blog to read my interview with Nancy K. Miller. She is a founding member of SheWrites, a giant in the field of feminist (auto)biography, and the author of the new memoir What They Saved: Pieces of a Jewish Past. http://julijasukys.com

A Call for Beauty in E-books

A few weeks ago, I finished editing the proofs of my new book Epistolophilia. It was a great feeling to see the book typeset, designed, and looking official (and beautiful). This, in combination with some back and forth about cover design a month or so ago has got me thinking about how books look. And whether or not, as e-books gain traction, we may be hearing the death knell of book designing as a profession.

Please come by to read my new author interview with Beth Kaplan. Her book (Finding the Jewish Shakespeare) about her great-grandfather, the NYC-based Yiddish playwright, is both memoir and biography. In writing the book, Kaplan made extensive use of the YIVO Archives' collection of books and private papers.

For all you lovers of libries, my new essay (about a librarian, among other things) called "Pregnant Pause: On Ona Šimaitė, Research, Writing, and Motherhood" is up on my blog at http://julijasukys.com/

It explores the riddle of being a writer and a mother, and tells of a love story between a researcher, her new baby and her biographical subject (a Holocaust rescuer and librarian).

I was so thrilled when I came across this group. I'm actually planning to go to Grad school for Library Science and do a double master's in that and Creative Writing. Hopefully, it won't be too rough! I love visiting my local library. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, except when you can here shrieking children from downstairs and people talking on their cell phones in a designated quiet research area. But, every place has its flaws, right?

Hello Keishua,
Well I have been wanting to join a library in my city for quiet sometime now but haven't done so for some not-so-good-reasons.
But I'll do that very soon and would certainly tell you when I do.
Other than that I do visit my school library and I'm afraid but it's BOOKS ONLY there so other than referring books or reading literature, I pretty much don't do anything other than reading studying there,but it's fairly good,that I must add.
Happy to see your comment,
Sagarika
