"Hi Amanda,
Naturewriting.com is an online magazine only, but one that allows you to read essays and poetry about its general topic. I always enjoy reading about what others are perceiving and what aspects of nature writing interest them.…"
My friend gave me a Random House catalog
I think it'll be useful, if for nothing else than to read all the blurbs and learn how best to write my own.
Oh! and "The Four Ms. Bradwells" is right inside the first page. It's the first thing you see! I hope it's okay to post this here: congratulations, Meg. That's just super.

That's lovely to hear, Petrea! (And I didn't know, thanks!) I do think looking through a catalog is a great way to think about how to pitch your book, collect blurbs, etc.

Not all the blurbs are interesting. That could be personal taste (it probably is). I have my work cut out for me but, as I'm at the querying stage, I see this as an opportunity.
